Check Text ( C-36094r1_chk )
Check the permissions of the xinetd configuration files and directories. # ls -alL /etc/xinetd.conf /etc/xinetd.d If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31341r1_fix)
Remove the extended ACL from the file. # setfacl --remove-all /etc/xinetd.d
