what needs to be running for server ftp web mysql

<< < (3/4) > >>

voidmain:
There are a lot of things in that list that should be turned off. If it would be my machine I would turn off:

sendmail (unless you are using the machine as an SMTP server)
netfs
ipchains
lpd
portmap
rhnsd
autofs
nfslock
isdn


The rest I would leave on. I also would not run X on the machine if it is a server (change the initdefault from 5 to 3 in /etc/inittab, then type "init 3").

Everything else I would leave on.

Master of Reality:

voidmain:
Now that you have everything up and running, make a trip to RedHat's web site and look at the errata section under support. You'll probably want to upgrade your "php", "openssl", and your "ssh" packages. Also look to see if there are any updates for "apache" and "wu-ftpd".

If you don't plan exposing this machine directly to the internet then I wouldn't worry so much about updating the packages, or turning off extra services for that matter.

If your machine is exposed to the internet it is wise to keep an eye on RedHat's errata, and subscribe to the CERT mailing list (from cert.org) so you will be notified of any new vulnerabilities immediately.
