NAME

misc.chk - Checks contents of root owned startup files as well as a variety of miscellaneous potential dangers.

SYNOPSIS

misc.chk

DESCRIPTION

misc.chk checks a variety of miscellaneous potential security problems that really don't belong anywhere else. Currently, it looks to see if tftp & rexecd are enabled, if anything run via inetd.conf is writeable or is a shell (/bin/sh, /bin/csh, etc.), checks if the uudecode alias is in the mail alias file and not commented out, and finally if uudecode is either SUID, or can produce SUID files.

FILES

/etc/motd
/etc/inetd.conf
/usr/lib/aliases
/bin/sh (and other shells)
