Note that I used the default variable which enforces at least some text. The previous value allowed /etc/motd to be empty.

Do we also need to check /boot/efi as well. The PDF says we do. If we not checking /boot/efi we should add a note about why.

ACtually I Google translated the guide and it seems /boot/efi should be checked as well. We have only one rule, I added it and I also added a note. I think this should be investigated separately, because I find it suspicious that we do not have other rules... maybe they do not make sense?

Description:
Note that I deliberately did not add one rule to the control; mount_option_boot_noauto. This rule has some problem and it needs more investigation.
Rationale:
The profile can be found here: https://www.ccn-cert.cni.es/es/guias-de-acceso-publico-ccn-stic/6768-ccn-stic-610a22-perfilado-de-seguridad-red-hat-enterprise-linux-9-0/file.html
The guide references some configuration scripts. They can be founnd here: https://www.ccn-cert.cni.es/pdf/guias/series-ccn-stic/guias-de-acceso-publico-ccn-stic/6771-ccn-stic-610a22-perfilado-de-seguridad-red-hat-enterprise-linux-9-0-script.html
Please note that our rules configure some features differently than official CCN scripts, for example some parameters for faillock are configured in /etc/security/faillock.conf instead of files within the /etc/pam.d directory.
