Create rule group_server_with_gui_removed #14204
Conversation
This commit introduces new rule `group_server_with_gui_removed` and adds it to CIS profile according to RHEL 10 CIS Benchmark v1.0.1, requirement 2.1.19. Although the requirement title suggests to remove only the GNOME Display Manager (gdm), the prose in the requirement instructs us to remove the whole `Server with GUI` dnf group. Also the remediation described in the CIS document wants us to remove the `Server with GUI` using the `dnf groupremove` command. The problem with this rule is that we aren't able to write an OVAL check for it. The rpm probes can't provide any information about dnf groups as that is a concept that doesn't exist on rpm level and is known only for dnf tools. We don't have any dnf probe or dnf query in OpenSCAP. Therefore this rule will have only an SCE check. Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OPENSCAP-6081

I think the whole rule would fit better into the linux_os/guide/services/xwindows/disabling_xwindows group.

How is this going to work in "check mode"? Will it be OK? Would some tasks which would check actual presence / absence of a group make sense?
