Making global modifications to users' files without alerting the user community can result in unexpected outages and unhappy users. Therefore, it is recommended that a monitoring policy be established to report user dot file permissions and determine the action to be taken in accordance with site policy. The following script will: - remove excessive permissions on dot files within interactive users' home directories - change ownership of dot files within interactive users' home directories to the user - change group ownership of dot files within interactive users' home directories to the user's primary group - listforward andrhost files to be investigated and manually deleted #!/usr/bin/env bash { l_valid_shells="^($( awk -F/ '$NF != "nologin" {print}' /etc/shells | sed -rn '/^//{s,/,\\/,g;p}' | paste -s -d '|' - ))$" unset a_uarr && a_uarr=() # Clear and initialize array while read -r l_epu l_eph; do # Populate array with users and user home location [[ -n "$l_epu" && -n "$l_eph" ]] && a_uarr+=("$l_epu $l_eph") done <<< "$(awk -v pat="$l_valid_shells" -F: '$(NF) ~ pat { print $1 " " $(NF-1) }' /etc/passwd)" l_asize="${#a_uarr[@]}" # Here if we want to look at number of users before proceeding l_maxsize="1000" # Maximum number of local interactive users before warning (Default 1,000) [ "$l_asize " -gt "$l_maxsize" ] && echo -e " ** INFO ** - \"$l_asize\" Local interactive users found on the system - This may be a long running check " file_access_fix() { l_facout2="" l_max="$( printf '%o' $(( 0777 & ~$l_mask)) )" if [ $(( $l_mode & $l_mask )) -gt 0 ]; then echo -e " - File: \"$l_hdfile\" is mode: \"$l_mode\" and should be mode: \"$l_max\" or more restrictive - Changing to mode \"$l_max\"" chmod "$l_chp" "$l_hdfile" fi if [[ !
