Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I put a ticket in for this a while ago, but unfortunately I haven't done much with it. For one, I don't know enough about GNOME to know which location is "right" and/or will actually accomplish what the STIG wants (I recall testing one and not seeing an effect). We actually handle some of these (like screensaver timeout) in a way that's completely different from what either the fix text or the OVAL check specify, so that adds to my confusion.
FWIW, the RHEL5 content seems to have the same issue; if X/GNOME aren't present, the checks for automatic lock and 15 minute timeout are flagged as non-compliant. -- Ray Shaw Contractor, STG Unix support, Army Research Labs > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:scap- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew > Gilmore > Sent: Friday, August 02, 2013 10:52 AM > To: [email protected]; scap-security- > [email protected] > Subject: Re: Fishing with Gnome's > > I have different issues with the Gnome checks. > > The remediation I followed set the blank screensaver, timeout, banner, > etc. in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/ but the SSG tests look for > these values in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults > > > Agreed, though, that if NO Gnome tools are installed at all, these > checks should also pass.
