cmclconfd error in syslog

[TheJuiceman]

I am getting a repeating message in my syslog as follows:

cmclconfd[14284]: cmclconfd running with weak security (identd disabled)

How should I address this issue? Thanks.

is your identd disable in your inetd.conf?

The new MCSG patch contains some security feature, make sure you did follow the "Special
Installation Instructions"....

Hey,
check if identd has been disabled in the inetd.conf it should look like this:
# grep ident /etc/inetd.conf
ident stream tcp wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd

after editing the /etc/inetd.conf you can restart the inetd with a inetd -c

this should take care of all the errors

If you want to read more on patch levels for Serviceguard, identd and ARPA you can check knowledge base article UXSGKBAN00001174

thanks

You are running Serviceguard with the identd security features turned off.
Recent versions of Serviceguard have had a security patch so you may also want to read the special instructions of any SG patch installed.

When I uncomment out the identd entry in /etc/inetd.conf and restart it, I get the message in my syslog.log file:

ident/tcp: unknown service

Then the messages start again. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
