The AIX /etc/group file must be group-owned by security.

The "/etc/group" file contains information regarding groups that are configured on the system. Protection of this file is important for system security.

Verify the "/etc/group" file is group-owned by "security" using command: # ls -l /etc/group

The above command should yield the following output: -rw-r--r-- 1 root security 387 Sep 06 11:40 /etc/group

If the file is not group-owned by "security", this is a finding.

Change the group of the "/etc/group" file to "security": # chgrp security /etc/group
