The Photon operating system must create a home directory for all new local interactive user accounts.

If local interactive users are not assigned a valid home directory, there is no place for the storage and control of files they should own.

At the command line, run the following command:

# grep -i "^create_home" /etc/login.defs

If there is no output or the output does not equal "CREATE_HOME yes", this is a finding.

Navigate to and open:

/etc/login.defs

Ensure the following is present and any existing "CREATE_HOME" line is removed:

CREATE_HOME yes
