Check Text ( C-28109r1_chk )
Check the mode of network services daemons. # ls -la /usr/bin /usr/sbin If the mode of a network services daemon is more permissive than 0755, this is a finding. NOTE: Network daemons not residing in these directories (such as httpd or sshd) must also be checked for the correct permissions. A way to locate network daemons, such as httpd and sshd, is with the ps command. # ps -ef \| egrep '(sshd\|httpd)'
