The root role is required.

Check that home directories are owned by the correct user.

# export IFS=":"; logins -uxo | while read user uid group gid gecos home rest; do result=$(find ${home} -type d -prune \! -user $user -print 2>/dev/null);
if [ ! -z "${result}" ]; then
echo "User: ${user}\tOwner: $(ls -ld $home | awk '{ print $3 }')";
fi;

Fix Text (F-51705r1_fix)
