Title: How to turn off TinyDNS and LDAP?
Post by: Seeker on October 16, 2008, 07:14:29 PM: I need to shut down and keep TinyDNS and LDAP from starting. How do I go about this? Is there any docs on this?

Thanks

I need to shut down and keep TinyDNS and LDAP from starting.

Why do you "need to" shut them down? Don't access them if you aren't interested in the data they contain. If you shut them down, and applications continue to try to access them, then you will have other problems.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Thanks for the replies. The LDAP service shares mail box info among the users which we do not want. TinyDNS is just not needed. We have a DNS server already running on the same server.

Log in to your SME Box as root:

At the bash prompt:

config setprop tinydns status disabled
config setprop ldap status disabled

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

This will shut down two primary SME services.

I have two questions for you:

1. Is SME Server the best solution for you? Perhaps you would be happier with an install of Cenos, which is the OS SME Server is based upon

2. Why are you shutting down tinydns and LDAP?

Shutting down ldap will cause problems adding and removing groups and users.
