Install vsftpd Package
An XCCDF Rule
Description
If this system must operate as an FTP server, install the vsftpd package via the standard channels.
The vsftpd package can be installed with the following command:
$ sudo yum install vsftpd
Rationale
After Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, Red Hat switched from distributing wu-ftpd with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux to distributing vsftpd. For security
and for consistency with future Red Hat releases, the use of vsftpd is recommended.
