Description

Check Text ( C-20986r1_chk )
a) Refer to the following report produced by the ACP Data Collection: ACF2 - ACF2CMDS.RPT(OMVSUSER) RACF - RACFCMDS.RPT(LISTUSER) TSS - TSSCMDS.RPT(OMVSUSER) NOTE: This check only applies to users of z/OS UNIX (i.e., users with an OMVS profile defined). b) If each user account is defined as follows, there is NO FINDING: 1) A unique UID number (except for UID(0) users) 2) A unique HOME directory (except for UID(0) and other system task accounts) 3) Shell program specified as “/bin/sh”, “/bin/tcsh”, “/bin/echo”, or “/bin/false” NOTE: The shell program must have one of the specified values. The HOME directory must have a value (i.e., not be allowed to default). c) If any user account is not defined as specified in (b) above, this is a FINDING.

b) If each user account is defined as follows, there is NO FINDING:

1) A unique UID number (except for UID(0) users)
2) A unique HOME directory (except for UID(0) and other system task accounts)
3) Shell program specified as “/bin/sh”, “/bin/tcsh”, “/bin/echo”, or “/bin/false”
