User .netrc files must not exist.

The .netrc file presents a significant security risk since it stores passwords in unencrypted form.

The root role is required.

Check for the presence of user .netrc files.

# for dir in \ `logins -ox | awk -F: '($8 == "PS") { print $6 }'`; do ls -l ${dir}/.netrc 2>/dev/null done

If output is produced, this is a finding.

The root role is required.

Determine if any .netrc files exist, and work with the owners to determine the best course of action in accordance with site policy.
