Wrong xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_account_disable_post_pw_expiration Description #2965

Closed code-with-amitk closed 4 years ago

code-with-amitk commented 6 years ago

Description of problem:

As per: http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/os/unix-linux/Pages/index.aspx

As per U_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_V1R4_Manual_STIG/U_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_STIG_V1R4_Manual-xccdf.xml Operating systems need to track periods of inactivity and disable application identifiers after zero days of inactivity.

While /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/.ssg-rhel7-ds.xml xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_account_disable_post_pw_expiration states: If a password is currently on the verge of expiration, then 35 days remain until the account is automatically disabled. However, if the password will not expire for another 60 days, then 95 days could elapse until the account would be automatically disabled.

This is inconsistency in description.
