GEN001361 - NIS/NIS+/yp command files must not have extended ACLs - '/var/nis'

Information

NIS/NIS+/yp files are part of the system's identification and authentication processes and are, therefore, critical to system security. ACLs on these files could result in unauthorized modification, which could compromise these processes and the system.

Solution

Remove the extended ACL from the NS/NIS+/yp command file(s) and disable extended permissions.

#acledit < directory >/< file >
