Puppet Class: security_baseline::rules::redhat::sec_rsh

Defined in:
manifests/rules/redhat/sec_rsh.pp

Summary

Ensure rsh server is not enabled (Scored)

Overview

The Berkeley rsh-server ( rsh , rlogin , rexec ) package contains legacy services that exchange credentials in clear-text.

Rationale: These legacy services contain numerous security exposures and have been replaced with the more secure SSH package.

Examples:

class security_baseline::rules::redhat::sec_rsh {
    enforce => true,
    message => 'Test',
    log_level => 'info'
}

Parameters:

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

    Enforce the rule or just test and log

  • message (String) (defaults to: '') —

    Message to print into the log

  • log_level (String) (defaults to: '') —

    The log_level for the above message
