Which services do I need, which don't I?
(I don't need nfs, sw running etc, mostly just basic networking. If I need something I can start it and stop it as needed.)
ie, what are these and do I need 'em? (before you tell me, I know what cron and inetd and the usual unix ones are :). Just the oddball HP-only ones I don't know about. )

Re: Which services do I need, which don't I?
You do *NOT* want to start disabling and/or capriciously modifying the scripts in /sbin/rc
If you want to harden your security, by disabling services you don't need, then start with:
1. Eliminate TCP/IP services not needed from inetd. (see man 1M inetd).
2. Increase logging of FTP activity and tighten usage (see man 4 ftpusers).
3. Follow this: http://secinf.net/info/unix/secureHP-UX.html

Re: Which services do I need, which don't I?
OK. By design, please remember that you can control the action of the various /sbin/init.d/ scripts by toggling variables as defined in the corresponding /etc/rc.config.d/ files.

Re: Which services do I need, which don't I?
Before really making any changes to your system, you could run inetd in logging mode (inetd -l) and check the syslog file for (legitimate) connections.
After a reasonable time (1 week for example) you can easily find the services that are not used, and you can disable them without too much of a problem.
Hope this helps,
Rik.
