Sorry for the simple questions but corp IT has said they need some services
turned off ASAP, "mostly SMTP, Finger and snmp ".
They mentioned turning them off in inetd.conf but if it's a scanning tool
determining this then I figure commenting the entries in the /etc/services
file is sufficient. Is that right ?
Also, I could find no entry in either file for snmp. How does that get turned
off ?
# grep -i smtp services inetd.conf
services:smtp 25/tcp mail
# grep -i snmp services inetd.conf
# grep -i finger services inetd.conf
services:finger 79/tcp
inetd.conf:# Finger, systat and netstat give out user information which may
be
inetd.conf:finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.fingerd
in.fingerd
Looks like commenting /etc/services worked for finger.
# finger user@hostname
[hostname.domain] connect: Connection refused
But not for smtp.
# grep mail services
# smtp 25/tcp mail
# telnet hostname 25
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ...
Connected to hostname.domain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 hostname.hostname.nis Sendmail SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4 ready at Fri, 9 May 2003

How do I get smtp service turned off (I've killed sendmail process for now but
am looking for correct method of turning this service off; commenting it's
startup in rc3.d) ?
Also, how do I turn of snmp (network management service I think).
Help me please ...
