Discussion

If the SMTP service log file is more permissive than 0644, unauthorized users may be allowed to change the log file.

Check Content

Check the permissions on the mail log files:

# ls -la /var/log/mail
# ls -la /var/log/mail.info
# ls -la /var/log/mail.warn
# ls -la /var/log/mail.err

If the log file permissions are greater than "0644", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of the sendmail log files:

# chmod 0644 <sendmail log file>
