Brad Powell's original thesis: > >You should probably just turn off echo, discard, daytime and chargen >as well. From the comment in inetd.conf: ># Echo, discard, daytime, and chargen are used primarily for testing. > Alas, some routers use rdate to set their clock on boot. daytime is still required in that case. However, I agree with you even to the point on killing off inetd on exposed machines. -- ============================================================= Jack Flory Migration Associates Corp.
