I have recently been given the opportunity to takeover as an administrator for several raq4r and raq4i server appliances. Due to a staffing situation I'm the only "qualified" tech to administer these boxes. Coming from a windows server world I feel a little overwhelmed.
I scanned some of our boxes and have noticed several ports / services open that I would like to see disabled. I would like to close the following ports and services. port 143 imap port 123 NTP port 161 SNMP I have questions about the following ports: udp port 42 NAME this I believe is for WINS replication. I do not believe I need this service running. udp port 123 NTP This is the network time protocol. don't think I will need that for hosting web pages. udp port 514 syslog. I don't believe I have any other servers / devices reporting to this server, don't think I need it. udp port 520 router. I don't believe I will be using this service unless it works with the dns routing. I am sending this email along with the task of researching documentation to solve these issues. I appreciate any help that can be offered. just for reference please refrain from flames, everyone started as a newbie. thanks in advance, V.
