Verify User Who Owns /etc/crypttab File
An XCCDF Rule
Description
To properly set the owner of /etc/crypttab, run the command:
$ sudo chown root /etc/crypttab
Rationale
The ownership of the /etc/crypttab file by the root user is important because this file hosts encrypted block devices configuration. Protection of this file is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the encrypted block devices configuration.
