AIX7-00-003123 - NIS maps must be protected through hard-to-guess domain names on AIX.

Information

The use of hard-to-guess NIS domain names provides additional protection from unauthorized access to the NIS directory information.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Change the NIS domain name to a value difficult to guess. Consult vendor documentation for the required procedure.
