Discussion

Default accounts, such as bin, sys, adm, uucp, daemon, and others, should never have access to the "at" facility. This would create a possible vulnerability open to intruders or malicious users.

Check Content

# more /etc/at.allow
If default accounts (such as bin, sys, adm, and others) are listed in the at.allow file, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the default accounts (such as bin, sys, adm, and others traditionally UID less than 500) from the at.allow file.
