Add nodev Option to /home
Unknown Severity
The
nodev
mount option can be used to prevent device files from being created in
/home
. Legitimate character and block devices should exist only in the
/dev
directory on the root partition or within chroot jails built for system services. Add the
nodev
option to the fourth column of
/etc/fstab
for the line which controls mounting of
/home
.
