Quick server security configuration

Cpanel, Dedicated servers Add comments

By default Centos, RedHat and Fedora starts multiple daemons that are actually not needed, for example:

nfs
nfslock
cups
gpm

and I am suggesting you disable these services asap. You can turn it off via chkconfig command or even remove from the execution at init levels as well.

chkconfig –del cups

chkconfig –level 3 cups off

The above line with –del will simply remove it

the second line with –level 3 option will turn off in init #3
