To check which port is currently used in your Linux Server you can run
the netstat command, root, to also list the ID and name of
the process watching that port:
You can turn services on and off by the update-inetd command.
For example, to turn telnet off:
# update-inetd --disable telnet
|
You can also manually turn services off by directly editing
/etc/inetd.conf. For example, if you have telnetd installed
(not recommended) and wish to turn it off (rather than uninstalling
it) then comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf that starts
with telnet and restart inetd:
# /etc/init.d/inetd restart

This is like /dev/null but for networks. This port is
generally not needed, especially if you are worried about attacks. |
13 |
|
daytime |
Prints the current date as a string (e.g.,
Mon May 23 07:14:21 2001 ). Not generally not needed. Can be
turned off to avoid possible denial of service attacks where an
attacker may link it to the echo port using spoofing. Also, the
returned format could be used to guess the operating system type. |

time |
prints the current time as seconds sine the epoch in
machine readable form. This can be useful if network clients expect
the service for crude time synchronisation (some windows clients can
use this service). Otherwise it is not generally needed. |

The IDENT protocol. It is not useful but most
IRC servers require this port to be open and returning information.
Apparently some FTP servers and postgresql require this service as well. |

nntp |
is the Network News Transport Service if you are
running a news server (e.g., inn or cnews). Otherwise it is not needed. |
