Hello fellow PLUGgers !
Yes, it's RedHat 2.4.13-ac6 ...
but ls also returns 2.4.7-10debug and 2.4.9-13 ...
If y'all remember, I'm having trouble getting automount to
detect the CD-R/W drive except when I use the boot floppy
as well as trouble with the Linux PC freezing at the end
of an otherwise successful CD-R burn.
Now think about all that underhanded activity going on that's
showing up in my "root" mail repository. Mebbe there's a
connection here - as in those dreaded TSR's, screensavers, etc.
that screw up CD-R/W burns in The Monopoly's OS.
So, I propose stopping the following programs in my
"Service Configuration" file in order to shut down all
that surreptitious E-mailing activity:
anacron - periodic task scheduler
atd - runs jobs queued for later XEQ
crond - job scheduler
tripwire - intrusion detector
sendmail - background mail client
logwatch - 'cuz it's used in that BG activity ...
webmin - there's no server in my Linux PC
xinetd - same reason as for webmin ...
portmap - same reason as for webmin ...
pcmcia - 'cuz this ain't a laptop ... and doesn't
have any pcmcia slots that I know of ...
But I'm keeping the following programs:
apmd - 'cuz it watches my activity & shuts off the
display after it's been unused for a while.
sshd - needed for secure Netscape ?
sgi_fam - file alteration monitor
ntpd - used by Net Time
nfslock - I dunno why I'm keeping this ...
That sounds like an awfully short list to me.
I'll wait to hear back from y'all.
Best regards,
George Langford
