Netgroup information (UNIX)

Module: Network Integrity

This check compares the netgroup listings that are stored in the NIS name service with template records that define the netgroups that are authorized by your security policy. Netgroup listings identify which hosts and users are allowed remote access to systems in listed domains.

The following table lists the error messages for the check.
