All SLEM 5 files and directories must have a valid owner.

Unowned files and directories may be unintentionally inherited if a user is assigned the same User Identifier (UID) as the UID of the unowned files.

Verify that all SLEM 5 files and directories on the system have a valid owner with the following command:

Note: The value after -fstype must be replaced with the filesystem type. XFS is used as an example.

     > sudo find / -fstype xfs -nouser

If any files on the system do not have a valid owner, this is a finding.

Either remove all files and directories from SLEM 5 that do not have a valid user or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on the system with the "chown" command:

     > sudo chown <user     > <file>
