Title
The system must use an access control program. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Access control programs (such as TCP_WRAPPERS) provide the ability to enhance system security posture.
Check Content
Determine if TCP_WRAPPERS is being used. # grep tcpd /etc/inetd.conf If no services are listed, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Edit /etc/inetd.conf and use tcpd to wrap services. Use SMIT to install TCP Wrappers from the AIX Expansion pack media as fileset netsec.options.tcpwrappers.
