    Default how do i prevent CSF and LFD (from configserver.com) from auto-restarting?

    how do i prevent CSF and LFD (from configserver.com) from auto-restarting?


    i want to turn them off once in a while, for extended periods of time


    on a not-so-related-note, does anyone know if CSF or LFD changes the SSH timeout period? I'm getting timed out on my SSH connections in much shorter time periods than before. What's interesting is that my SSH client doesn't show it as a dropped connection -- the connection just locks up.



    thanks.

    Default

    You can disable it (on the newer versions, so make sure you upgrade) using:

    Disable:
    csf -x

    Enable:
    csf -e

    csf shouldn't have any bearing on the SSH login timeout. That's usually done using the shell TMOUT variable.
