GEN005480 - Syslog Accepts Remote Messages

Hello,

I am working on the STIG for one of the Solaris 10 OS servers, and would like some helps on the syslogd problem.  How do I set the syslogd with the -t option? and how do I set the LOG_FROM_REMOTE to no in the syslogd file?  Please see below.  Thanks in advance.

Perform the following command to determine if syslogd accepts remote messages:

 

Solaris

           

      # ps –ef | grep syslogd

 

If the ‘-t’ option is not enabled, ask the SA if it is documented.

 

 And

 

      # grep LOG_FROM_REMOTE /etc/default/syslogd | grep –i no

 

If the LOG_FROM_REMOTE setting is not set to “no” this is a finding.
