Details

Check Text ( C-28864r2_chk )
Determine if the /export/home path is a separate file system.

# grep /export/home /etc/vfstab

If no result is returned, /export/home is not on a separate file system and this is a finding.

If ZFS is used for home directories, this is not applicable.
Fix Text (F-25896r1_fix)
