Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.10240
Category:	RPC
Title:	walld service
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The walld RPC service is running. It is usually used by the administrator to tell something to the users of a network by making a message appear on their screen. Since this service lacks any kind of authentication, an attacker may use it to trick users into doing something (change their password, leave the console, or worse), by sending a message which would appear to be written by the administrator. It can also be used as a denial of service attack, by continually sending garbage to the users screens, preventing them from working properly. Solution : Disable this service. Risk factor : Medium
