The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must ensure access to start a UNIX-level shell is restricted to only the root account.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Restricting the privilege to create a UNIX-level shell limits access to this powerful function. System administrators, regardless of their other permissions, will need to also know the root password for this access, thus limiting the possibility of malicious or accidental circumvention of security controls.
