ISS is reporting a large number of ports open. How can I close them? I'm running Redhat 6.1 w/apache web server. Thanks!

You should be able to close most of them from your /etc/xinetd.conf file. Other services can be shutdown from your /etc/rc.d files.

Does editing the /etc/inetd.conf file remove them also? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

If you have an inetd.conf file yes. Comment out the ones you dont want. Actually its easier than if you have a xinetd.conf file as there usually isnt anything in it it all points to rc.d.

I guess that version of RedHat is old enough to have to inetd.conf file.

Yes, xinetd.conf is the replacement for inetd.conf for RedHat. I thought RedHat did the replacement in 6.x, but apparantly not. After you edit inetd.conf, you need to restart inetd using kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/inetd.conf)
