Description

To properly set the owner of /var/log/sssd/*, run the command:

$ sudo chown sssd /var/log/sssd/*

or

$ sudo chown root /var/log/sssd/*

Rationale

The /var/log/sssd directory contains debug logs for the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) and should only be accessed by authorized personnel.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

if id "sssd" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  newown="sssd"
elif id "root" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  newown="root"
fi
if [[ -z ${newown} ]]; then
  echo "sssd and root is not a defined user on the system"
  exit 1
fi

find  /var/log/sssd/  -type f  ! -user sssd ! -user root -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*' -exec chown -L $newown {} \;

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
