1.8.9 Ensure GDM autorun-never is not overridden

Audit

Run the following script to verify that autorun-never=true cannot be overridden:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
{
 # Check if GNOME Desktop Manager is installed. If package isn't installed, recommendation is Not Applicable\n
 # determine system's package manager
 l_pkgoutput=""
 if command -v dpkg-query > /dev/null 2>&1; then
 l_pq="dpkg-query -W"
 elif command -v rpm > /dev/null 2>&1; then
 l_pq="rpm -q"
 fi
 # Check if GDM is installed
 l_pcl="gdm gdm3" # Space separated list of packages to check
 for l_pn in $l_pcl; do
 $l_pq "$l_pn" > /dev/null 2>&1 && l_pkgoutput="$l_pkgoutput\n - Package: \"$l_pn\" exists on the system\n - checking configuration"
 done
 # Check configuration (If applicable)
 if [ -n "$l_pkgoutput" ]; then
 l_output="" l_output2=""

Remediation

Run the following script to ensure that autorun-never=true cannot be overridden:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

 for l_pn in $l_pcl; do
 $l_pq "$l_pn" > /dev/null 2>&1 && l_pkgoutput="y" && echo -e "\n - Package: \"$l_pn\" exists on the system\n - remediating configuration if needed"
