Fix Recommendation

Configure SLEM 5 so that all noninteractive accounts on the system have no interactive shell assigned to them.

Run the following command to disable the interactive shell for a specific noninteractive user account:

> sudo usermod --shell /sbin/nologin nobody

Check Contents

Verify all noninteractive SLEM 5 accounts do not have an interactive shell assigned to them with the following command:

Check the system accounts on the system.

> awk -F: '($7 !~ "/sbin/nologin" && $7 !~ "/bin/false"){print $1 ":" $3 ":" $7}' /etc/passwd
root:0:/bin/bash
nobody:65534:/bin/bash

Obtain the list of authorized system accounts from the information system security officer (ISSO).

If noninteractive accounts such as "games" or "nobody" are listed with an interactive shell, this is a finding.
