The STIG requires multifactor access for all privleged accounts; it mentions using two government approved mechanisms (one is CAC) as examples. It's possible that...
The twoservers do not mount any NFS volumes. The SWCs have two mounts to server 1. We'll have to see if this causes any heartburn when it's enabled on the SWCs.
None of the hosts are currently doing any packet forwarding. On the old cluster the firewall had to be modified to allow packet forwarding to support some of the ...
The tftp server package is not installed on the SWCs. On the two servers, the service file is located in /etc/systemd/system/tftp.service and this starts the serv...
The two servers need TFTP server functionality to support diskless bootup. The daemon is invoked with a root, /opt/services/tftpboot, which limits its scope. The ...
The servers provide SMTP service but act as relays so that alarm messages from within the cluster can propagate outside of the cluster to system administrators, e...
The two servers do allow remote messages over TCP. This allows them to capture syslog messages from the SWCs and other devices on the system. Thus they serve as l...
The config files for audit have changed since the STIG. They are now located in /etc/audit/rules.d though I think they're actually "compiled" into /etc/audit/audi...
Auditting is enabled on the systems and will be tweaked per STIG specs about coverage. The system must have high availability, so having a doomsday switch on audi...
There are a couple of other grub.cfg files located under /opt. These are served up to the diskless systems and are not part of the boot process for the server's t...
The hard drives on the servers have a separate partition for /var. I'm not sure that this rule applies to the diskless systems since they have no disks.
The aide program is installed on server {1,2} and the swc diskless image. Cron should run it once a day on the servers. An email message will go out to usno admin...
Mandatory multifactor authentication is likely to be problematic for the cluster both for administration and DiFX usage because both actions require easy login to...
Applying this rule will end up requiring console access to complete a reboot which is not appropriate for either a cluster and for a remotely administrated system...
Server 1 only had config file mods as expected. Server 2 has a mods to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/20 chrony; I think a system update did this? The SWCs have...

The commands provided are not appropriate for this system given it's version of RHEL 7.6. Use systemctl status tftp l to see that the tftp daemon is started in a...
Server 1 has tftpd installed and it's used for booting of the diskless hosts (swc xxx). It is set up to only transfer files located below /opt/services/tftpboot. ...
I believe that postfix on server 1 is configured to only relay messages from hosts on 10.1.36.* but it's not using, nor does it even show, the parameter described...
This rule is tied tightly to NTP whereas RHEL is using chrony. This will take some research, probably. Also we'llhave to find a direct, acceptable official clock ...
There is no expectation that users will receive mail on server 1. It serves as a way to forward mail off of the cluster (e.g., sending notifications back to the s...
