Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60410
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 8 FEDORA-2008-1743 (scponly)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to scponly
announced via advisory FEDORA-2008-1743.

scponly is an alternative 'shell' for system administrators
who would like to provide access to remote users to both
read and write local files without providing any remote
execution priviledges. Functionally, it is best described
as a wrapper to the tried and true ssh suite of applications.

and -o (CVE-2007-6415, #426072)
* Mon Feb 11 2008 Warren Togami - 4.6-9
- rebuild with gcc-4.3
* Tue Dec 11 2007 Toshio Kuratomi - 4.6-8
- Disable rsync support due to security concerns: RH BZ#418201
