Fix Recommendation

Investigate any world-writable directories that are not group-owned by a system account and then delete the files or assign them to an appropriate group.

Check Contents

The following command will discover and print world-writable directories that are not group-owned by a system account, given the assumption that only system accounts have a gid lower than 1000. Run it once for each local partition [PART]:

$ sudo find [PART] -xdev -type d -perm -0002 -gid +999 -print

If there is output, this is a finding.
