Discussion

The rlogind process provides a typically unencrypted, host-authenticated remote access service. SSH should be used in place of this service.

Check Content

Check the rlogind configuration.
# cat /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin
If the file exists and does not contain "disable = yes" this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove or disable the rlogin configuration and restart xinetd.
# rm /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin ; service xinetd restart
