Hello all,
I have been doing some searching for information about disabling services within a CentOS 5.5 install. I have found a few different opinions, and wanted to ask for some feedback.
First off, the system is running a LAMP stack to serve a web application. It will only be doing email to send occasional messages out (sent via the application only). It will not be receiving email for any users. It is an CentOS 5.5 (fully updated) install running under VMware (esx, I believe). We are not sharing directories via nfs or samba (either from or to this virtual machine).
From my research, the services that I am thinking of turning off are:
nfs (already off) nfslock portmap rpccgssd rpcidmapd rpcsvcgssd apcid apmd mdmpd mdmonitor
Is there any reason that I need to leave any of these services running? Are there others that I should disable as well?
Any feedback about this would be greatly appreciated. -- Doug
