thank you.
i fully understand what you are saying and i should have anticipated this
better... what i should have asked was this...
out of that list, is there anything i shouldnt turn off under any
circumstances for a typical DNS server on the Internet running the few other
TCP/IP services it is offering?
notice i mentioned that i can pry dust portmap and any other rpc-* stuffs?
i have already done what you asked before and over the last 10 years many
times.... and even more in the last year. yet...
things change a bit over time and so i was seeking advise other than go
figure it out yourself. i am smart enough to deal with 3am server crashes...
see below as the thing is... i like to do my work well before and labor at
never having a 3am server crash. :->
remember?? before last year i ran Slackware 1.2.13 and some Redhat 2.0.X
stuff very "solidly" for 6 - 9 years and am just now migrating to newer
hardware and opsys distribution versions...
thanks in advance and kind regards
