Assessment Procedure

Check Text

Locate any print service configuration file(s) on the system. HP vendor documentation 
identifies the following names and locations of print service configuration files on 
the system that can be checked via the following commands:
# ls -lL /var/spool/lp/.rhosts
# ls -lL /var/adm/inetd.sec
# ls -lL /etc/hosts.equiv

If the permissions include a "+", the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Remove the optional ACL from the file.
# chacl -z <print service configuration file>
