Check Content

Note: If there is no operational need for Libreswan to be installed, this rule is not applicable.

Verify that RHEL 9 libreswan service package is installed.

Check that the libreswan service package is installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed libreswan

Example output:

libreswan.x86_64          4.6-3.el9

If the "libreswan" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Install the libreswan service (if it is not already installed) with the following command:

$ sudo dnf install libreswan
