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.

# Reconstructed from oval:mil.disa.fso.solaris11:def:374
# Files in /etc/news must be owned by root.
# 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:
# - file_object (file_test) -- Test owner of /etc/news/* is root: no extractor for field "user_id"
# - file_object (file_test) -- Test owner of /etc/news/* is news: no extractor for field "user_id"
# Test existence of user news
# password_object (password_test)

getent passwd news &>/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.
