When checking "Verify /boot/grub/grub.conf Permissions" rule,
allow the check to succeed also in case the underlying system
has stronger file permissions on /boot/grub/grub.conf file
than exactly 0600 (IOW instead of exact requirement of / for 0600
permissions, make the 0600 mode the upper bound of the allowed
value / range).
Please review.
Thank you && Regards, Jan.
