To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be uniquely identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and provide for nonrepudiation.
At the command line, run the following command to verify there are no duplicate user IDs present:
# awk -F ":" 'list[$3]++{print $1, $3}' /etc/passwdIf any lines are returned, this is a finding.
Navigate to and open:
/etc/passwd
Configure each user account that has a duplicate UID with a unique UID.
