Script to turn off unneeded services

[Tobias Speckbacher]

These can be switched on and off with chkconfig as well.

Type chkconfig --list to see a full listing plus runlevels for your
system


So for example you want to turn on ipop3 on within xinetd just use:

chkconfig ipop3 on

-T

Thanks.  That is a great start! However, I plan to leave xinetd on to
run the pop3 and spop services.  So I also need to be a little more
specific about just turning off a few of the xinetd entries.  I was
thinking I would a use a stream-editor to replace "disable = no" to
"disable = yes" for  /etc/xinet.d/servers, /etc/xinet.d/services and
/etc/xinet.d/sgi_fam.  Is there any problem with turning these services
off as far as xinetd is concerned?  The descriptions seem fairly
mundane:

services
# default: off
# description: An internal xinetd service, listing active services.
service services

servers
# default: off
# description: An internal xinetd service, listing active servers.
service servers

sgi_fam
# default: on
# description: FAM is a file monitoring daemon. It can \
# be used to get reports when files change.
