Description Anthony Green 2017-07-31 11:24:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Red Hat Insights is reporting the fact that users other than root can read /var/log/cron.  It suggests tightening these up to the default permissions for 
cron logs on RHEL, which are read/write by root only.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhvm-appliance-4.1.20170511.0-1.el7.noarch


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls -l /var/log/cron
2.
3.

Actual results:
[root@rhvm ~]# ls -l /var/log/cron
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8564 Jul 31 07:01 /var/log/cron


Expected results:
[root@ocp ~]# ls -l /var/log/cron
-rw-------. 1 root root 6870 Jul 31 07:01 /var/log/cron

Comment 4 Yuval Turgeman 2018-01-29 10:59:47 UTC
Nice catch, it was added to spin-kickstarts for rhvm-4.1 only

Comment 6 Jiri Belka 2018-03-07 15:22:47 UTC
ok, rhvm-appliance-4.2-20180202.0.x86_64.rhevm.ova

# ls -l /var/log/cron
-rw-------. 1 root root 188 Mar  7 10:20 /var/log/cron
