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
