It looks like a test option could be incorrect.

Lines 150 of /usr/share/lynis/include/tests_boot_services contains a test for a non-zero length string which will always return true. Perhaps what was intended was a test for whether the string was a directory, as on line 152?

Mmmm, I agree with you.

I checked the repository with a regular expression and this seems to be the only match.

PR #1569 should solve this issue by just fixing the typo.
