Topic: Disabling unneeded daemons

[Alex Schaft]

Hi,

What would be the "right way" of disabling unwanted daemons like squid, atalk, etc. Should I just delete the links out of /etc/rc7.d?

The right way would be to do:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop squid status disabled
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop atalk status disabled
...
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Do you know where the scripts, etc. in /sbin/e-smith are documented?

I've picked up a rpm called e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-01.noarch.rpm in the contrib section of ftp.e-smoth.org wich creates a services-page in the web-gui and lets you turn them on/off

Can you please point me in the right direction?  There are alot of directories and I can see to find this RPM at present.  Thanks

I applied this module and stopped a number aof services:

Status of services updated
Please be patient. This operation may take some time to complete as it is updating the system configuration.
Disabled Macintosh file & print sharing service.
Disabled LDAP directory server service.
Disabled Printing service.
Disabled Mail retrieval service.
Disabled Mail transport service.
Disabled Web proxy service.

But when I use top at the server I still see squid and ldp for example:

Try rebooting. The e-smith-services module is unsupported beta software. It may very well have some minor bugs. Or it might not work at all
