Vulnerability discussion

Inetd or xinetd logging and tracing allows the system administrators to observe the IP addresses that are connecting to their machines and to observe what network services are being sought. This provides valuable information when trying to find the source of malicious users and potential malicious users.

Check content

Determine if inetd or xinetd has logging or tracing enabled. # ps -ef |grep inetd |grep -e "-d" If no results are returned, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit the inetd startup script to contain the "-d" parameter for the inetd process. #vi /etc/rc.tcpip # chssys -s inetd -a '-d'

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.
