Summary

The PAM configuration file for rlogin in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier includes a less restrictive rule before a more restrictive one, allowing users to access the host via rlogin even if rlogin has been explicitly disabled using the /etc/nologin file.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to unauthorized access to the system, potentially leading to serious security breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to review and correct the PAM configuration to ensure that rules are applied in the correct order, eliminating the possibility of access via rlogin when it is disabled.
