Description Bill Nottingham 2008-03-28 17:36:06 UTC
Description of problem:

Test Name: openssh                                          Test Result: WARNING
        Warning(19)   Wrong permissions on directory: "/var/empty/sshd"
(directory used by sshd during privilege separation in the pre-authentication
phase, required permissions are 644)

1) 0644 is a very strange directory permission
2) If this is truly the case, why isn't this fixed in the openssh package?

Also:

        Warning(22)   Remote root login IS NOT EXPLICITLY DISABLED.
        Warning(09)   Remote access IS NOT restricted with the AllowGroups nor
the AllowUsers directive

These are intentional in the configuration.

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

sectool-0.6.0-1.noarch

Per the remote root login and Allow{User,Groups}..I guess that we could move
that test from the "default" security level (3), but let it enabled in the
"hardening" levels - 4 and 5.
