[CentOS] server install and software config advise please
Greetings I did another quick server install on an old rackmount Compaq Proliant 1850R with hardware RAID5 today. would someone please shed some of their experience and light on how they deal with deleting or keeping the default configs on these items please when i do a chkconfig --list | grep :on | more nfslock 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off readahead 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off portmap 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rawdevices 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rpcsvcgssd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off irqbalance 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off lm_sensors 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off messagebus 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off microcode_ctl 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off mdmonitor 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off autofs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rpcgssd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off readahead_early 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off rpcidmapd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off arptables_jf 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cpuspeed 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off i did snip some out as i choose to keep them... i can obviously dust all the rpc**** stuff and portmap for now correct??? can anyone please comment on the rest of these please? i mean, what is some of this unrecognizable stuff??... at least for me eh? this is a straight dns server with all ext3 and a swap and is running bind, vsftpd, sshd, and smtp and that is about it. ive done enough research and searching to be more dangerous than good on these..........and even though i have been involved in this for a long time, i would rather be safe than sorry with the newer opsys versions. thanks in advance! - rh - rh -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net

For those that don't make sense, use a search engine to find the home page and read about it. Still lost on some, ask about that remaining list of packages. Asking directly may be easier, but it won't help at 3:00 AM when the server crashes because rpcsvcgssd is hogging all CPU because it freaked out and you don't know if you can shut it off safely...
