Title

All network services daemon files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Restricting permission on daemons will protect them from unauthorized modification and possible system compromise.

Check Content

Check Content: Verify network services daemon files have no extended ACLs. # cat /etc/inetd.conf | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | grep -v '^#' | cut -f6,6 -d " " | xargs -n1 ls -lL If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL, and this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the optional ACL from the file. # chacl -z <path>/< network-services-daemon>
