Fix Recommendation

Remove the .rhosts, .shosts, hosts.equiv, and/or shosts.equiv files.

Check Contents

Check for the existence of the files. The .rhosts and .shosts files are stored in home directories. (If a user does not have a home directory assigned in /etc/passwd, the root directory (/) is assigned as a default home directory.)

Procedure (the first command is five lines long):
# for homedir in `cut -d: -f6 /etc/passwd | awk '$1 == "" {$1 = "/"} {print $1}'`;
do
ls -l $homedir/.rhosts;
ls -l $homedir/.shosts;
done
# ls -l /etc/hosts.equiv
# ls -l /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv

If .rhosts, .shosts, hosts.equiv, or shosts.equiv are found, this is a finding.
