AIX7-00-003067 - The uucp (UNIX to UNIX Copy Program) daemon must be disabled on AIX.

Information

This service facilitates file copying between networked servers.

The uucp (UNIX to UNIX Copy Program), service allows users to copy files between networked machines. Unless an application or process requires UUCP this should be disabled to prevent attacks.

Solution

In "/etc/inetd.conf", comment out the "uucp" entry by running command:
# chsubserver -r inetd -C /etc/inetd.conf -d -v 'uucp' -p 'tcp'

Restart inetd:
# refresh -s inetd
