How to stop dce permanently

[yc_2]

Hi,

I was asked by my security folk to stop the service that using port 135. With lsof, I traced dce is using this port. I managed to stop it manually:
/sbin/init.d/dce stop.

How do I make this permanently so that it will not start up in the next reboot?

Before I stopped dce manually, the setting for DCED is 0 in /etc/rc.config.d/dce.

Thanks in advance,
YC

Hi,

/etc/rc.config.d/dce

in this file set he flag DCED=0

[Henk Geurts]

you can disable the port;
remove the entry in /etc/services

remove the link S570dce -> /sbin/init.d/dce
from /sbin/rc2.d/

grtz. Mark

renaming both stop and start is even safer:

mv /sbin/rc2.d/S570dce /sbin/rc2.d/s570dce
mv /sbin/rc1.d/K430dce /sbin/rc1.d/k430dce

regards.

All of the above will work, but anyone with enough knowlege & privileges can re-activate it in less than 1 minute. If you're certain you don't want DCE to run under any circumstances, uninstall it. (They could always re-install it, but it would have to be a deliberate act, not just someone who thought "Sheesh! Some twit installed DCE, then never bothered to configure it! I'd better do it now.")

Hi Ravi,

The setting was DCED=0 before I stopped dce.
