Since my recent default install of Slackware 7.1, I have been working (gradually) on setting up my system.
I recently performed an Nmap scan to discover that the default installation sets up a bunch of services that I don't really want. (FTP, Telnet, etc) So, I edited /etc/inetd.conf to close down some of these services, however, I have a couple questions.
1. Can I shut down more of these services? I'm not sure how important they are to Linux...I don't recall needing ANY of them to run Linux (I don't plan on using my computer as a server of any type.) Just thought I'd make sure before I closed down the rest of these service.
time 37
sunrpc 111
auth 113
imap2 143
login 513
shell 514
printer 515
unknown 682
nfs 2049
X11 6000
2. HTTP is also still running, however, and it is not in inetd.conf. Could anybody provide any help with this?
Thank you.
