Fix Recommendation

Run these commands:

1) "chown enterprisedb <postgresql data directory>/edb_audit"

2) "chgrp enterprisedb <postgresql data directory>/edb_audit"

3) "chmod 700 <postgresql data directory>/edb_audit"

(The default path for the postgresql data directory is /var/lib/ppas/9.5/data, but this will vary according to local circumstances.)

Check Contents

Verify User ownership, Group ownership, and permissions on the “edb_audit” directory:
> ls –ald <postgresql data directory>/edb_audit
If the User owner is not “enterprisedb”, this is a finding
If the Group owner is not “enterprisedb”, this is a finding.
If the directory is more permissive than 700, this is a finding.

(The default path for the postgresql data directory is /var/lib/ppas/9.5/data, but this will vary according to local circumstances.)
