Check Text ( C-36301r1_chk )
Check the mode of network services daemons.
# ls -lLa /usr/lbin

If the mode of a network services daemon is more permissive than 0755, this is a finding.
NOTE: Network daemons that may not reside in these directories (such as httpd or sshd) must also be checked for the correct permissions.
Fix Text (F-31556r1_fix)
Change the mode of the network services daemon.
# chmod 0755 /
