Turning off unwanted services.

Hello DigiCrime,

Please provide a complete list of what specifically was disabled to make it easier for us to know which set items without going through the entire list of what they do and do not recommend. Once we have the full list here on what was disabled, I would be happy to indicate if any are actually required by cPanel.

Thanks!

 

When you install the OS in preparation for cPanel, you're only to do a minimal installation. Not sure what purpose this thread serves if cPanel is not installed on the server.

 

Other than MySQL and named, which you already mentioned, as well as rsync, the only others that might be considered are nfs and portmap if you have any plans on using those. Also, xfs filesystem in place of another type of filesystem (again, if you are considering using that).

xinetd is not required by default on cPanel machines. Here's my VPS test node where xinetd is not enabled or being used:

Code:

root@host [~]# chkconfig xinetd --list 
error reading information on service xinetd: No such file or directory

root@host [~]# whereis xinetd
xinetd: /etc/xinetd.d

root@host [~]# ps aux | grep xinetd
root     29841  0.0  0.0   6040   612 pts/1    S+   09:07   0:00 grep xinetd

Thanks!
