Check user home directories for local initialization files with extended ACLs. # cut -d : -f 6 /etc/passwd | xargs -n1 -IDIR ls -alL DIR/.bashrc DIR/.bash_login DIR/.bash_logout DIR/.bash_profile DIR/.cshrc DIR/.kshrc DIR/.login DIR/.logout DIR/.profile DIR/.env DIR/.dtprofile DIR/.dispatch DIR/.emacs DIR/.exrc If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding. |
