Discussion

Access control programs (such as TCP_WRAPPERS) provide the ability to enhance system security posture.

Check Content

The tcp_wrappers package is provided with the SLES mainframe distribution. Other access control programs may be available but will need to be checked manually. 

Determine if tcp_wrappers (i.e. TCPd) is installed.
# rpm -qa | grep tcpd
If no package is listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Install and configure the tcp_wrappers(i.e. tcpd) package.
