Security for a first timer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While I am fairly adept at making sure the services on my Windows box
are only the ones I need, I am not so learned for Linux. I use my
Fedora pc for email (Ximian), surfing (Firefox/Mozilla) and chatting
(Gaim). I am not using it as a mail server, ftp server, ssh server, or
file server of any sort. So my question is, what should/should not be
running to cut down on security risks? I think I was successful on not
running sendmail, but what else? Here are the  current results from
chkconfig --list, any of these that I would be well off  to disable?
Thanks!
