APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • In case a system is installed with the Trusted Computing
    Base option, applying rule "hls_disrmtdmns" with the
    "aixpert" command may fail to disable some of the
    affected
    TCP/IP daemons: "rlogind", "rshd" or "tftpd".
    

Local fix

  • Before applying an xml file which includes
    rule "hls_disrmtdmns":
    
    - check if one of the daemons is without TCB flag set:
    
    # chtcb query <path_of_daemon>
    
    # ls -l <path_of_daemon>
    
    # chtcb on <path_of_daemon>
    
    # tcbck -a <path_of_daemon> mode=TCB,<mode_of_daemon>
    
    The impact of this work-around is that you enable the TCB
    flag for the affected daemon. Enabling the TCB flag of a
    command means it can be executed in the Trusted Shell
    (tsh
    command).
    

Problem summary

  • The "hls_disrmtdmns" aixpert rule will fail if TCB is
    enabled on a system.  Aixpert will not show an error when the
    rule is applied but when aixpert -c is run to check the system
    it will show that this rule has failed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Modify the disrmtdmns script to properly disable the tftpd
    daemon.
