where are the daemons

[toolshed]

I run redhat 7.2. I want ot know where are the running daemons at...it is not inetd.conf anymore.

For example i am looking for the file that has stuff like this in it:

finger stream tcp nowait /usr/etc/in.fingerd in.fingerd

BTW does anyone know what these services are that are listening...I am trying to minimize the services:



113/tcp open auth
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
199/tcp open smux
512/tcp open exec
515/tcp open printer
6000/tcp open X11


This is the only services listening after a good nmap scan.

I believe you might be interested in this link that has a brief word on most services

list of services and explanation (http://http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/admin/aservice2.html)

as far as the file that has the startup lines, I believe they are now in the /etc/rc.d and rc[12345] service scripts but I would have to check...

Ummm, yes they are in /etc/xinetd/...
Each service has its own file..

RedHat 7.2 doesn't use inetd, it uses xinetd. Each service has it's own little config file in /etc/xinetd.d, check there. The format is different than inetd.conf, but basically says the same thing, it should be easy to make sense out of it ;) Or find an xinetd HOWTO or something...

well i got most of the ports i listed figured out. The only one that i cant figure out is the:

113/tcp open auth

I am not sure what this is.

Ident-Based Authentication

The "Identification Protocol" is described
in RFC 1413. Virtually every UNIX-like
operating system ships with an ident
server that listens on TCP port 113 by default. The basic functionality of an ident server
is to answer questions such as, "Which user initiated the connection
that goes out of your port X and connects to my port Y?"
Since PostgreSQL knows both X and Y when a physical connection is established, it can
interrogate the ident server on the host of the connecting client and could theoretically determine the operating system user for any
given connection this way.


;) Google :D
