Thanks. That is a great start! However, I plan to leave xinetd on to run the pop3 and spop services. So I also need to be a little more specific about just turning off a few of the xinetd entries. I was thinking I would a use a stream-editor to replace "disable = no" to "disable = yes" for /etc/xinet.d/servers, /etc/xinet.d/services and /etc/xinet.d/sgi_fam. Is there any problem with turning these services off as far as xinetd is concerned? The descriptions seem fairly mundane: services # default: off # description: An internal xinetd service, listing active services. service services servers # default: off # description: An internal xinetd service, listing active servers. service servers sgi_fam # default: on # description: FAM is a file monitoring daemon. It can \ # be used to get reports when files change. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tobias Speckbacher" <tobias@xxxxxxxxx> To: "General Red Hat Linux discussion list" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 3:16 PM Subject: RE: Script to turn off unneeded services > Just add the something along the lines of this in your post section: > > /sbin/chkconfig psacct on > /sbin/chkconfig canna off > /sbin/chkconfig FreeWnn off > /sbin/chkconfig xfs off > /sbin/chkconfig netfs off > /sbin/chkconfig gpm off > /sbin/chkconfig atd off > /sbin/chkconfig arptables_jf off > /sbin/chkconfig kudzu off > /sbin/chkconfig apmd off > /sbin/chkconfig isdn off > /sbin/chkconfig iptables off > /sbin/chkconfig ip6tables off > /sbin/chkconfig pcmcia off > /sbin/chkconfig autofs off > /sbin/chkconfig portmap off > /sbin/chkconfig xinetd off > /sbin/chkconfig rhnsd off > /sbin/chkconfig cups off > > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of j.travis > Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 2:11 PM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Script to turn off unneeded services > > A am planning on writing a script at the end of a kickstart file that > turns off any unneeded services immediately after a RedHat 9.0 > installation.
