Details
Check Text (C-215347r987796_chk)
Determine if the "rlogind" service is running by running the following command:
# grep -v "^#" /etc/inetd.conf |grep rlogin
If the above grep command returned a line that contains "rlogin", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-16543r294493_fix)
Disable the rlogind service by editing the "'etc/inetd.conf" file.
# vi /etc/inetd.conf
Comment out the "rlogind" service.
Restart the inetd service:
# refresh -s inetd
