Hello,

I do a lot of work on making sure Linux meets various security standards. One 
of the 
better known security profiles is the DISA STIG. (STIG means Security Technical 
Information Guide.) Back in February, there was a big update to it. I have 
reviewed it 
and sent feedback to get some items corrected. But in the mean time, I wanted 
to check 
how far off we have gotten and wrote a script to do some checking. The guide 
requires a 
UMASK of 027 for users, so you may find that home dir file permissions are not 
right. 
However, if you just create a user and have never logged in...the file 
permissions 
should be right.

In any event, I have uploaded the scripts so that file permission problems can 
be found 
and fixed. The original guide can be found here:

We used openscap to translate the XCCDF content into html. The (uncorrected) 
settings 
can be found here:

and the test script can be found here:

I think we should realign some file permissions.
