Details:
· xccdf_org.cisecurity.benchmarks_rule_6.2.7_Ensure_all_users_home_directories_exist : “(L1) Ensure_all_users_home_directories_exist”, the check was showing relevant (non-compliant) if non-system users were not found. This is fixed by modifying the relevance to show relevant (non-compliant) only if a non-system user is found that does not have a home directory created.
