I've just noticed a few 'anomalies' with a SuSE 8 system I just set up and put into production. Can anyone explain why: ..I get a 'syslogd 1.4.1: restart.' message at :15 past every hour? ...I can't seem to disable portmap? Yast2 insists on enabling it in whatever runlevel I have inetd starting. All I'm running out of inetd is ftp, time, and pop3, and to my knowledge, none of them require portmap. So why can't I disable this reputedly-insecure service? -- Rick Green "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
