Fix Recommendation

Assign home directories to all SLEM 5 local interactive users that currently do not have a home directory assigned.

Assign a home directory to users via the usermod command:

> sudo usermod -d /home/dosuser dosuser

Check Contents

Verify SLEM 5 local interactive users on the system have a home directory assigned with the following command:

> sudo pwck -r
user 'dosuser': directory '/home/dosuser' does not exist

Ask the system administrator (SA) if any users found without home directories are local interactive users. If the SA is unable to provide a response, check for users with a User Identifier (UID) of 1000 or greater with the following command:

> awk -F: '($3>=1000)&&($1!="nobody"){print $1 ":" $3}' /etc/passwd

If any interactive users do not have a home directory assigned, this is a finding.
