The reconstructed evaluation script behind this rule's OVAL check(s) — every module a compound check combines, with this rule's own concrete values and DISA's SCC tool's real per-module mechanism curated from static teardown of SCC releases.
#!/bin/bash
# Reconstructed from oval:mil.disa.fso.hpux11:def:53
# The system must prevent the root account from directly logging in except from the system console.
# Per-module read mechanism curated from static teardown of DISA's SCC tool
# (SCAP Compliance Checker) -- see the SCC Automation Reference above.
#
# MANUAL REVIEW REQUIRED -- the module(s) below could not be reconstructed
# into working code from curated SCC reference data, and are excluded from
# the automated result:
# - textfilecontent54_object (textfilecontent54_test) -- /etc/securetty has only one entry and it is valid: no extractor for field "instance"
# /etc/securetty exists
# file_object (file_test)
test_2() {
test -e '/etc/securetty' &>/dev/null
}
if test_2; then
echo "PASS (automated portion only -- MANUAL REVIEW still required, see notes above)"
else
echo "FAIL (or see MANUAL REVIEW note above)"
fi Assessment Script Powered by AISandbox-executed
A standalone Shell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.
Syntax-checked and actually executed in an isolated sandbox (not the real system this checks) — confirmed to run without errors.
