Hello everyone.

How can I NOT allow ftp and telnet for anonymous users?

Any other tips on securing my server RedHat 7.1 would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

For telnet there is no such thing as anonymous access. With ftp, I believe redhat ship wu-ftpd without anonymous access enabled. If not, you can recompile it without anon support by doing './configure --disable-anonymous' at the start of the compile. In general, you have to explicitly allow anonymous access via /etc/ftpaccess etc. Again for redhat, there is a specific rpm called 'anonftp' which is configured for anonymous ftp only. If you have it installed you'd want to dump that with 'rpm -e anonftp' .
