Verify Group Who Owns /etc/selinux Directory
An XCCDF Rule
Description
To properly set the group owner of /etc/selinux, run the command:
$ sudo chgrp root /etc/selinux
Rationale
The ownership of the /etc/selinux directory by the root group is important because this directory hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this directory is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
