No, you don't. Not on a UNIX/Linux box you don't (unless you've hacked the kernel and built your own distro, and if that's the case, what are you doing posting questions here? ;) ), and Windows boxes are a whole other story....if you're building a publicly accessible server based on Windows and you plan on running services on 80 and 443, you would do well to be VERY concerned with security. Hacking a publicly accessible Windows server is trivial in most cases, even with up-to-date patches. That's why people keep finding new Windows exploits. ;)
