inet services with MC/SG

Hi!

Is there any problem to disable daytime, echo, discard and chargen services on a server running MC/Service Guard? I want to disable them for security reason!
Thanks!

ServiceGuard makes no use of these facilities, so no problem to disable them.

Re: inet services with MC/SG

Hi,

MC/ServiceGuard does not make use of such services.

In addition, you should try to use /etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist instead of the .rhosts file. This allows you to comment out exec, shell, login (if they are not in use by other applications) from your /etc/inetd.conf and disable the r-services (rexecd, remshd, rlogind) on the next inetd reread (inetd -c) of the configuration file.

Hope this helps. Regards.
