RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
with the switch to systemd the "PROMPT" option is no longer a valid config option in /etc/sysconfig/init and has no effect, therefore setting it to "no" does nothing and shouldn't be checked by the guide.  ("Disable Interactive Boot")

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.25-3.el7.noarch

To my understanding this has been fixed in upstream. Granting dev_ack+.

https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/pull/852

Šimon,

Unless I'm missing something, (And I could very well be)  I don't see the changes merged for RHEL7:

https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/blob/master/shared/oval/disable_interactive_boot.xml
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/blob/master/RHEL/7/input/xccdf/system/accounts/physical.xml

RHEL7/systemd does not follow the PROMPT=no option in /etc/sysconfig/init, so that test should be removed.
RHEL7/systemd uses systemd.confirm_spawn=1 on the kernel command line to do an interactive boot, that test needs to be added.

Ah, you are right, Karl.

Thank You!

Proposed upstream patch:
* https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/pull/1282

Version scap-security-guide-0.1.30-1.el7 contains the fix. PROMPT=no is no longer suggested and checked, and instead systemd.confirm_spawn is checked.
