Verify the default value of the inet service property tcp_trace.
# inetadm -p |grep tcp_trace

If the tcp_trace inet service property is not set or is set to FALSE, this is a finding.

Verify that all enabled inetd-managed processes have the tcp_trace inet service property set to the default value or TRUE.
# inetadm | grep enabled | awk '{print $NF}' | xargs inetadm -l | more

If any enabled inetd-managed processes have the tcp_trace inet service property set to FALSE, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-24701r3_fix)
Enable logging or tracing for inetd. Procedure: # inetadm -M tcp_trace=TRUE Set the tcp_trace inet service property to the default for all enabled inetd-managed services. # inetadm \| grep enabled \| awk '{print $NF}' \| xargs -I X inetadm -m X tcp_trace= (Note: The trailing '=' instructs inetd to use the default value for tcp_trace.)
