Hi all
on my debian fw, im running virtually no services (as to which is the law) on my fw:
gate:~# netstat -ln Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:113 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.111.10:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.111.10:3128 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:33644 0.0.0.0:* Active UNIX domain sockets (only servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path gate:~#
Soo I would like to know, if it is advisable to stop identd. I have googled abit and from what I gather, its considered as dangerous and basically pointless to run. By removing / stopping this service, will it hamper hinder my users, other servers in any other way. I only run a mail and ftp server.
Kind Regards and thanks inadvance Brent Clark
