Check or Attack Name: defrsh

The remote host system for this account allowed access from the scanning machine. This trust may extend to other machines, allowing an attacker to compromise security.

Warning: Software that scans some Unix systems may cause the system to halt if the shutdown/shutdown or halt/halt accounts/password pairs exist. For a good security policy, these accounts should be removed, renamed, or at the very least contain a difficult to guess password.

Examine the .rhosts file, which contains configuration information for trusted hosts. Any entries containing a + (plus sign) should be removed or commented out.
