Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • The RHEL 8 SSH private host key files must have mode 0640 or less permissive.

    If an unauthorized user obtains the private SSH host key file, the host could be impersonated.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • The RHEL 8 SSH daemon must perform strict mode checking of home directory configuration files.

    If other users have access to modify user-specific SSH configuration files, they may be able to log on to the system as another user.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • The RHEL 8 SSH daemon must not allow authentication using known host’s authentication.

    Configuring this setting for the SSH daemon provides additional assurance that remote logon via SSH will require a password, even in the event of misconfiguration elsewhere.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • The RHEL 8 SSH daemon must not allow Kerberos authentication, except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.

    Configuring these settings for the SSH daemon provides additional assurance that remote logon via SSH will not use unused methods of authentication, even in the event of misconfiguration elsewhere.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • RHEL 8 must use a separate file system for /var.

    The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.
    Rule Low Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
