What are these services? {newbie}
 

Hi,
What are these services?

sshd
xfs
crond

If there are not needed, how do I turn them off?

Cheers

sshd = ssh daemon, for secure shell. like telnet but more secure. disable from your startup scripts.

xfs = a high performance journaling filesystem. i wouldn't disable this. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/index.html

crond = cron job daemon. to schedule automated tasks on your system. man cron for more info.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice:) How do I sshd for the startup disable :confused:

Thanks

No, Tricky prolly ment you should disable telnetd if you got it running. It's run from (x)inetd, plz look at the man, config.

And hold on desabling xfs - it's not a journaling system (just a name collapse) it is the X font service.
