i installed Gentoo 031015 & am very pleased with it, but still learning.
there are 4 daemons in /etc/init.d for remote access to my box: sshd slapd slurpd rsyncd . i've checked their man pages & all appear to be running as servers for things i don't need or want. i do want to use 'ssh', but that's unaffected when i remove 'sshd'. two questions: am i correct that i can remove these scripts from init.d without interfering with the ordinary functioning of my system ? and why are they set up by default on a Gentoo system, when they cd cause a security problem for a naive -- mb me -- user ? and perhaps a 3rd question: are there any other similar items in init.d ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
