Discussion

Failure to give ownership of sensitive files or utilities to system groups may provide unauthorized users with the potential to access sensitive information or change the system configuration possibly weakening the system's security posture.

Check Content

Check the group ownership of the xinetd configuration files and directories.

Procedure:
# ls -alL /etc/xinetd.conf /etc/xinetd.d


If a file or directory is not group-owned by root, bin, sys, or system, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the group-owner of the xinetd configuration files and directories.

Procedure:
# chgrp -R root /etc/xinetd.conf /etc/xinetd.d
