I am trying to begin to secure my P.C.. It's only a home computer but may hopefully later be linked to a second pc via 10/100 nics.
I was reading a faq on the net about securing a linux box and they recomend to not have certain services enabled unless absolutly necessary. One of these is "portmap". I notice this is enabled by default (I think) on Woody. Can I safely uninstall this service/program without affecting my p.c.? All I'm using it for is surfing the net, reading email and other "home" type things. Also they recomend disabling nfs...I have "nfs-common" and nfs-kernel-server" installed. Can I safely disable these too? I dont require them for apt-get updates etc? Thanks for any advise. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
