Puppet Class: cis_security_hardening::rules::xinetd

Defined in:
manifests/rules/xinetd.pp

Summary

Ensure xinetd is not installed

Overview

The eXtended InterNET Daemon ( xinetd ) is an open source super daemon that replaced the original inetd daemon. The xinetd daemon listens for well known services and dispatches the appropriate daemon to properly respond to service requests.

Rationale: If there are no xinetd services required, it is recommended that the package be removed.

Examples:

class cis_security_hardening::rules::xinetd {
    enforce => true,
}

Parameters:

  • enforce (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Enforce the rule
