Disable Red Hat Subscription Manager Daemon (rhsmcertd) The Red Hat Subscription Manager (rhsmcertd) periodically checks for changes in the entitlement certificates for a registered system and updates it accordingly. The 'rhsmcertd' service can be disabled with the following command: '$ sudo systemctl disable rhsmcertd' The 'rhsmcertd' service can provide administrators with some additional control over which of their systems are entitled to particular subscriptions. However, for systems that are managed locally or which are not expected to require remote changes to their subscription status, it is unnecessary and can be disabled. Fix: # # Disable rhsmcertd.service for all systemd targets # systemctl disable rhsmcertd.service # # Stop rhsmcertd.service if currently running # systemctl stop rhsmcertd.service oval:org.secpod.oval:def:30398 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:31121 SCAP Repo OVAL Definition 2015-11-13
