Fix Recommendation

All directories in local partitions which are world-writable should be owned by root or another system account. If any world-writable directories are not owned by a system account, this should be investigated. Following this, the files should be deleted or assigned to an appropriate group.

Check Contents

The following command will discover and print world-writable directories that are not owned by a system account, assuming that only system accounts have a UID lower than 1000. Run it once for each local partition [PART]:

# find [PART] -xdev -type d -perm -0002 -uid +999 -print

If there is output, this is a finding.
