Fix Recommendation

Configure the "/etc/sudoers" file to only include the "/etc/sudoers.d" directory.

Add or modify the following line:

@includedir /etc/sudoers.d

Remove any nested includes under the "/etc/sudoers.d" directory.

Check Contents

Verify SLEM 5 specifies only the default "include" directory for the /etc/sudoers file, and does not have nested "include" files or directories within the /etc/sudoers.d directory with the following command:

Note: If the "include" and "includedir" directives are not present in the /etc/sudoers file, this requirement is not applicable.

> sudo find /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d -type f -exec grep -H "[#@]include" {} +
/etc/sudoers:@includedir /etc/sudoers.d

If the results are not "/etc/sudoers.d" or additional files or directories are specified, this is a finding.
