Check Text ( C-76797r2_chk )
Verify that all SUSE operating system files and directories on the system have a valid owner. Check the owner of all files and directories with the following command: Note: The value after -fstype must be replaced with the filesystem type. XFS is used as an example. # find / -fstype xfs -nouser If any files on the system do not have an assigned owner, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-83883r1_fix)
Either remove all files and directories from the SUSE operating system that do not have a valid user, or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on the system with the "chown" command: # sudo chown
