Check Text ( C-27463r1_chk )
Verify network services daemon files have no extended ACLs.
# ls -la /usr/sbin
# ls -la /usr/bin
If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL and 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)'
Fix Text (F-23544r1_fix)
Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# chmod A- [file with extended ACL]
