Accounts (PAM modules): 12 controls for Linux hardening
Pavois audits 12 controls in the Accounts (PAM modules) hardening domain, across 9 systems and 4 standards (CIS, ANSSI BP-028, NIST 800-53, DISA STIG). Every control declares the evidence it gathers, its severity, its remediation and its standard references.

What does Pavois check in this domain?
- persistent config 12
- Checked against the content of a persistent configuration file, the source of truth that survives reboots.
Which standards does this domain cover?
One effective-configuration check serves as evidence for several standards at once. The references below are the ones the corpus actually carries, never a claimed equivalence. how to read a standard mapping.
