| GEN003300-ESXI5-PNF | GEN003300-ESXI5-PNF | GEN003300-ESXI5-PNF_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| On some systems, if there is no at.allow file and there is an empty at.deny file, then the system assumes that everyone has permission to use the "at" facility. This could create an insecure setting in the case of malicious users or system intruders. Applicable, but permanent not-a-finding - No "at" command. |
