Root Path Must Be Vendor Default

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Assuming root shell is bash, edit the following files:

~/.profile
~/.bashrc
Change any PATH variables to the vendor default for root and remove any empty PATH entries or references to relative paths.

Rationale

The root account's executable search path must be the vendor default, and must contain only absolute paths.
