Check Text ( C-17424r372940_chk )
The root role is required. Determine if each user has a valid home directory. # logins -xo | while read line; do user=`echo ${line} | awk -F: '{ print $1 }'` home=`echo ${line} | awk -F: '{ print $6 }'` if [ -z "${home}" ]; then echo ${user} fi done If output is produced, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-17422r372941_fix)
The root role is required. Correct or justify any items discovered in the check step. Determine if there exists any users who are in passwd but do not have a home directory, and work with those users to determine the best course of action in accordance with site policy. This generally means deleting the user or creating a valid home directory.
