password security question

Dewa Negara_4 — Mon, 05 Jan 2004 21:55:26 GMT

Hi All,

I just curios with my IQ/OQ template for my system. One of security items mention that "Verify creation of /.secure/etc/passwd with * in passwd field:File exists with * in passwd field". Is /.secure/etc/passwd file is really exist? or it's just a wrong type because it should be /etc/passwd? Because as long as I know that directory /.secure/etc is for system audit purpose and there is no file passwd under this directory. Anyone can help to confirm? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Negara

Hi,

The given path (/.secure/etc/passwd) is correct if your HPUX version is 9.x and system is in trusted mode.

Please read this doc for more info.
