Discussion

Check Content

Verify that OL 9 has the sudo package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed sudo
Installed Packages
sudo.x86_64                                          1.9.5p2-10.el9_3                                          @anaconda

If the sudo package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

The sudo package can be installed with the following command:

# dnf install -y sudo
