Thanks for the reply. I do not have to actually go online to the internet. Actually, it's a simulation work i have to do for my school course.. So, i have to include all basic services that are with the OS which now is fedora core 4.. The more services i can conclude in my project, the better i guess.. honestly, i want to know the differentiated services in between internet and intranet server.. what services are more dedicated and suitable in terms of internet server adn intranet server.. cheers > > A better question would be which services to avoid on the open Internet. > I'd avoid telnet, Samba, and NFS to start. > > Don't deploy *any* service to the outside world until you understand its > security implications and you've subscribed to the announce list for the > group producing its package.
