If you're not currently using ssh you could turn it off until such time as you're going to start using it: # service sshd stop # chkconfig sshd off
OK, I stopped ssh for now. When I did service sshd stop I got output, but when I did chkconfig sshd off I got none. Is this supposed to return any output?
Both of these are as expected. Using "service sshd stop" should produce the same "Stopping sshd [ OK ]" sort of output that you get when you shut down the machine.
Paul, and everybody else, thank you for helping me. Now that ssh is off for the time being, I'm not so worried and I'll learn to secure it with iptables before I enable it.
Good plan.
Paul.
