Verify Group Who Owns /etc/at.allow file
An XCCDF Rule
Description
If/etc/at.allow exists, it must be group-owned by root.
To properly set the group owner of /etc/at.allow, run the command:
$ sudo chgrp root /etc/at.allow
Rationale
If the owner of the at.allow file is not set to root, the possibility exists for an unauthorized user to view or edit sensitive information.
