SV-64019r1_rule The rlogind service must not be running.

Vulnerability discussion

The rlogind process provides a typically unencrypted, host-authenticated remote access service. SSH should be used in place of this service.

Check content

Check the rlogind configuration. # cat /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin If the file exists and does not contain "disable = yes" this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove or disable the rlogin configuration and restart xinetd. # rm /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin ; service xinetd restart

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
