Title

RHEL 10 must disable the chrony daemon from acting as a server.

Control

Verify RHEL 10 disables the chrony daemon from acting as a server with the following command: $ sudo grep -w port /etc/chrony.conf port 0 If the "port" option is not set to "0", is commented out, or is missing, this is a finding.

Discussion
