Putting the so called personal attacks aside, I think what most of us want to know is what
does the support vendor in question know that we, the SSG community and maker of the
software, don't know about RHEL7 security configuration that warrants the additional
checks being put into the draft.

Community Participants,
Earlier this week a post was made to this forum/thread that made disparaging comments
regarding DISA’s leadership over the STIG development process and our contractor’s support
in this effort. I want to share with this group that DISA government leadership is fully
in charge of our actions/decisions and our contract staff is there to provide support to
us.
Having just signed into this forum tonight, I noted the following from Fedora’s Rules of
Conduct: “Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no
excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now
and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's
important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is
not a productive one.” To the author of this, WELL SAID!!!!
Shawn Wells, in his post, noted that DISA has been a cooperative partner in the STIG
process. DISA greatly values the contributions and recommendations from Red Hat and
communities such as this, and it’s welcomed. I would simply ask that everyone please be
respectful. If there are concerns outside of the technical area associated with this,
please drop me a line and we can discuss. My email address is

Respectfully,
Roger Greenwell
Chief, Cybersecurity – DISA
