A client running 5.5 had some Romanians drop by the other day, create themselves an account on the machine, and load a stack of IRC-related software (eggdrop, tcl, etc) in a hidden directory. We've cleaned up, upgraded to 5.6, blocked http/https ports, and done some other security stuff.
If I run '/etc/init.d/httpd stop' on the command line, httpd dies. If I put the same line in /etc/rc.local, no effect. How/where can I stop the public web server from running at all on a public server/gateway machine that just does email?
Related question:
Are httpd, httpd-admin, and httpd-e-smith all separate servers?
Thanks
Michael Hall
