port 113 (auth) -- why won't it close???

[mandreko]

ok, i've been closing all the ports i can... i have telnetd open, but only to 1 ip address... i know... i should get ssh, but i don't have it working yet..

i'm down to the telnet port and port 113 (auth)

i have the auth commented in the inetd.conf file... but it still runs... even after rebooting... i do a "ps -aux" and it's not there...

how can i kill it??

killall in.idendt

"no process killed"

check your init scrips,especially if your using Mandrake as the newer versions fire up identd in one of its rc.d scrips.

thanks sssadams, that worked...

I did mine a little different. I am still using SMTP and I do IRC quite a bit so I need to have some form of ident running. Why I did was on my firewall script I allow server side ident and have closed client side ident. I can get auth on my email and some IRC servers. Plus if I get scanned it shows as closed.

I use PMFirewall but all the scripts are customized.
