Hi, I have just installed Slink. I have shut down many services - via /etc/inetd.conf - that I am familiar with and do not need.
This is a stand-alone home machine. I do not offer services. At present, I have the following : /usr/sbin/lsof | grep LISTEN portmap 129 root 4u inet 35 TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) lpd 142 root 4u inet 41 TCP *:printer (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 4u inet 49 TCP *:discard (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 6u inet 51 TCP *:daytime (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 8u inet 53 TCP *:time (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 17u inet 62 TCP *:auth (LISTEN) omniNames 149 root 5u inet 64 TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 157 root 5u inet 64 TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 158 root 5u inet 64 TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 159 root 5u inet 64 TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 160 root 5u inet 64 TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) xfs 161 root 4u inet 68 TCP *:7100 (LISTEN) XF86_SVGA 183 root 0u inet 86 TCP *:6000 (LISTEN) What is the purpose of "omniNames" ? Do I need it? Is it a security risk? I guess I do not need "portmap." I do not use NFS. What is the best way to shut it off? I'd appreciate any general comments as well. Thanks, Howard Mann
