SV-29697r1_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

Determine if the rlogind service is running. # cat /etc/inetd.conf | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | grep -v "^#" | grep rlogind If rlogind is found to be enabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the rlogind service. Restart the inetd service via the following command: # inetd -c

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.
