Disabling auth service (was RE: [ale] sun rpc services)

[Davis, Ricardo C.]

I have a related question.  I'm in the process of hardening a system running
RH Linux 6.2.  The system will be a FTP server, thus I only want ports 21
(ftp) and 22 (ssh) open.

I've almost accomplished the goal ... I scan with nmap 2.3b14 and I see
these ports as well as port 113 (auth) open.  But I've commented the 'auth'
line in /etc/inetd.conf and SIGHUP'd inetd and port 113 is still open.  What
am I missing?


Merry Christmas!

Good Afternoon,
I am running a red Hat 6.2 box and would like to disable the services
running
on port 111. Any suggestions?
Thank You, 

Martin Nichols
