Check

The Software Installation Profile is required.

Display the installation history of packages on the system to ensure that no undesirable packages have been installed:

# pkg history -o finish,user,operation,command |grep install

If the install command is listed as "/usr/bin/packagemanager", execute the command:

# pkg history -l 

to determine which packages were installed during package manager sessions.

If undocumented or unapproved packages have been installed, this is a finding.
