Error description

  • Using the following test.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AIXPertSecurityHardening>
<AIXPertEntry name="hls_dissnmpdmn"
function="dissnmpdmn">
<AIXPertRuleType type="HLS"/>
<AIXPertDescription>Disable SNMP daemon: Stops SNMP

<AIXPertArgs>snmpd d hls_dissnmpdmn</AIXPertArgs>
<AIXPertGroup>/etc/rc.tcpip Settings</AIXPertGroup>
</AIXPertEntry>
</AIXPertSecurityHardening>
Then apply the rule using :
aixpert -f test.xml
Then start manually snmpd so that checking that rule
should complain that snpmd is running while it should
not :
startsrc -s snmpd
aixpert -cp will output :
Processing hls_dissnmpdmn_187E7A97 :done.
Processedrules=1 Passedrules=1 Failedrules=0 Level=
AllRules
Input file=/etc/security/aixpert/core/appliedaixpert.xml

While it should output :
Processing hls_dissnmpdmn_A7ED7C5D : failed.
Processedrules=1        Passedrules=0   Failedrules=1
Level=AllRules
Input file=/etc/security/aixpert/core/appliedaixpert.xml
