Details

Check Text ( C-50535r1_chk )
The root role is required. Check that all users' home directories exist. # pwck Only "uucp" and "nuucp" should generate errors (as their home directories do not exist). If users' home directories do not exist, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-51711r1_fix)
The root role is required. Work with users identified in the check step to determine the best course of action in accordance with site policy. This generally means deleting the user account or creating a valid home directory.
