What are these files & where they are being used, these files having rw,rw,rw permissions set which is failing them in their machine compliance.
Can anyone suggest if we can change the permissions of these files & if not what are the other alternatives.
And if we change permission of these files, will there be any issue with BigFix services which are associated with these files.
**/var/opt/BESCommon/.HostIDAccess.write**
**/var/opt/BESCommon/.HostIDAccess.read**Has anyone comments on this?
I’ve previously gotten the following reply from development/support at the end of 2018…
“The .HostIDAccess.read and .HostIDAccess.write files contain no data. They are used cooperatively to gate access to files that may be changed by multiple BES components. Some of those BES components may be running as non-root processes. An alternative to allowing all access would be to create a BES group and make sure all BES component processes belong to that group, then limit access to root and the BES group. There is no way to force that in the current release.”
It keeps getting flagged in our environment as well as a violation of configuration rules. Ideally this would be fixed (aka create the group as part of the client installation so this isn’t needed).
