Configuring UNIX checklists

You can configure the checklists for the AIX®, MAC, and Solaris.

The UNIX™ checklist in BigFix efficiently addresses the requirements outlined in the CIS and DISA checklists for Solaris, AIX®, and MAC OS systems, placing significant focus on compliance monitoring procedures.

The majority of UNIX™ audit checks comes with built-in remediation. However, a smaller portion of UNIX™ audit checks offer the flexibility to audit non-default values. If customization is available for a UNIX™ audit check, you will find one or more input fields on the Description tab of the Fixlet®. You can simply modify the field corresponding to the desired audit value and click the Save button.
