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 all local files and directories on TOSS 5 have a valid owner using the following command:
$ df --local -P | awk {'if (NR!=1) print $6'} | sudo xargs -I '{}' find '{}' -xdev -nouserIf any files on the system do not have an assigned owner, this is a finding.
Either remove all files and directories from the system that do not have a valid user, or assign a valid user to all unowned files and directories on TOSS 5 with the "chown" command:
$ sudo chown <user> <file>
