Services on DNSOnly Boxes

[autumnwalker123]

Hello,

I am wondering what services are required and which can be disabled on DNSOnly boxes - e.g. do I actually need to run EXIM on my DNSOnly installations?

Thanks!

Hello

Exim is installed is so that cPanel can send system notifications to root or the server contact e-mail address.

Thank you.

Ah, that is what I thought.

What services can be disabled on DNSOnly? I'd like to run them lean to only provide the DNS service.

cPanel DNS-Only only includes services that it actually utilizes. Thus, you don't have to disable any of the services that are enabled by default.

Thank you.

Say someone disabled services on a DNS-Only box; what would the default enabled services be?

Here's a list of the default enabled services, as obtained from the /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf file on a DNS-Only server:

cphulkd
cpsrvd
crond
exim
ipaliases
mysql
named
queueprocd
rsyslogd
sshd

Additional services are available through "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Service Manager" and some of them are enabled during the initial setup wizard.

Thank you.
