hi all,
these days I sat up a new server. Then started to disable
the services I don't use.
e.g. for telnet I added in the korresponding
xinetd.conf-file "disable = yes"
I then tried to connect via telnet... it still worked
I commented out the telnet lines in /etc/services
I then tried to connect via telnet... it still worked
at least I renamed the telnet daemon in.telnetd
then, how to expect, I achieved my goal.
But I can hardly believe, that I have to remove or rename
the daemons of the services, to disable them.
I hope to get a hint of how to disable a service
(for example telnet) without kicking of its daemon, or
why my changes on the xinetd.conf-files caused nothing.
(I sure did ./xinetd reload after the changes)
greetings markus
