CIS 2.3 — Lock the BIND User Account
Profile Applicability
- Authoritative Name Server Level 1
- Caching Only Name Server Level 1
Description
The user account under which BIND runs should not have a valid password, but should be locked.
Rationale
As a defense-in-depth measure the named user account should be locked to prevent logins, and to prevent a user from su'ing to named using a password. In general, there shouldn't be a need for anyone to have to su as named, and when there is a need, then sudo should be used instead, which would not require the account password.
Impact
Not specified.
Audit Procedure
Ensure the named account is locked using the following:
# passwd -S named
named LK 2020-02-11 -1 -1 -1 -1 (Password locked.)
The results must have the LK value in the second field, similar to the output shown above.
Remediation
To remediate, lock the named account using the password command with the lock option as shown below.
# passwd -l named
Locking password for user named.
passwd: Success
Default Value
Account is locked by default.
