An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>As a rule, accounts on a web server are to be kept to a minimum.

The resources to which these accounts have access must also be closely monitored and controlled. ESX Agent Manager files must be adequately protected with correct permissions as applied out of the box.
