Admind

By default, admind runs insecurely. If admind is insecure, an intruder can obtain access to it and change the password file. This option tests to see if admind is running.

Risk: High

Fix: To increase security, append to the following switch to the admind line in the inetd.conf file:

-S 2

Then restart the inetd process.

This causes the admind server to require stronger authentication.
