What is the correct permission for the below file under ESXi 7.x
What is the correct ESXi 7.x hardening permission for the following files /etc/shadow and /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root files?
> -rw------- 1 root root /etc/shadow What is the correct hardening permission (chmod 600 or chmod 400)?
> -r--r--r--T 1 root root /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root What is the correct hardening permission (chmod 640 or less)?
Any concern once the above files hardening permission are set?
Thanks,

While ESXi's shell is very Linux-like, one shouldn't follow typical Linux hardening guidelines.
For options on how to secure your ESXi 7 hosts, consult VMware's vSphere 7 Security Configuration & Hardening Guide: https://core.vmware.com/vmware-vsphere-7-security-configuration-guide
