> I am looking for a list of services that you disable by default on > your server. what kind of server? smtp server? pop/imap server? proxy server? web server? ftp server? logging server? voip gateway? firewall? rpm build box? swipe card reader server? development/source repo server? LDAP, NFS? or are you looking for a set of things that we disable by default on all servers? At which point I question your choice of removing sendmail (unless you're replacing it with something like exim or postfix) because most servers need to send mail, even if it's just to alert you when a cron job has barfed. personally I disable, or don't install SE Linux, Network Manager (with extreme prejudice), and anything to do with wireless/bluetooth, and X on every single server. From there it depends on what the server is doing. We've got a Kickstart server and boot off USB sticks and CDs that allow us to pick generic build types off a menu (eg; web server, smtp server, mail storage server, etc). The kickstart config just pulls down the packages we want, a few scripts get run doing various things like updating all packages, setting up our distributed config system, installing custom packages, and so on. However, I don't see the usefulness in seeing what other people disable. Everybody has different networks, different requirements, and does different things on their boxes. What you should be doing is looking at *your* servers and itemising what they do. Then remove all packages that are not needed to provide those services. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz
