Fix Recommendation

Configure any TOSS 5 cron configuration directory with a mode more permissive than "0700" as follows:

$ sudo chmod 0700 [cron configuration directory]

Check Contents

Verify the permissions of the cron directories using the following command:

$ find /etc/cron* -type d | xargs stat -c "%a %n"

700 /etc/cron.d
700 /etc/cron.daily
700 /etc/cron.hourly
700 /etc/cron.monthly
700 /etc/cron.weekly

If any cron configuration directory is more permissive than "700", this is a finding.
