where are redhat 7's config files?

[mandreko]

you know things like the inetd.conf file, and such? i'm trying to configure my machine, and secure it. I just got wolverine (pretty cool) but i can't find where the config files are... did they use a new format or somethin?

RedHat does not use inetd.rc at all. You have three ways (that I know of) to configure your services for each runlevel.

1. (chkconfig --level <runlevel><servicename><on/off> to remove a service for that session.
To remove it permanently, use
chkconfig --del <servicename>

2. Use ncurses based
ntsysv --level<runlevel> to configure services.

3. Use tksysv if you are running a X session.

inetd.conf is in /etc
in RH7

If you have locate or slocate installed, issue the command updatedb. It takes a minute or two, but then you can find files quickly from anywhere in your filesystem using

locate [filename]

Yes... thanks for the updatedb command... I learn something new everytime I come here.

do you have to be root to use the updatedb command?

Yes. At least on my system I do.
