newbie help: how do i configure IP services/daemons of my machine?
hello,
i am a previous slackware user, and used to edit wildly in config files.... now
i administer also a redhat machine, and they have a runlevel editor and other
tools to configure a machine...
now is there a special way to administer a debian machine? Especially is there
something to respect when customizing which daemons should run on my machine
and the services the machine exports?
can i safely remove the links to the intiscripts in the rc*.* directories to
stop daemons to start? (BTW it would be nice if on installation dselect would
ask if a particular daemon should be started by default or not...)
and can i safely edit /etc/hosts.allow/deny?
or are there special tools to do so?
ciao
