Fix the permissions of the script files that are responsible for starting and stopping all your normal processes that need to run at boot time.
Which means just root is allowed to Read, Write, and Execute scripts files on this directory. I don't think regular users need to know what is inside those script files.
By default, when you login to a Linux box, it tells you the Linux distribution name, version, kernel version, and the name of the server. This is giving away too
much info. We'd rather just prompt users with a Login:
To do this, Edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and Place # in front of the following
lines as shown:
# This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot. So, make any changes you
# want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you reboot.
#echo "" > /etc/issue
#echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
#echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue
#
#cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
#echo >> /etc/issue
|
Then, remove the following files: issue.net and issue under /etc directory:
[root@deep] /# rm -f /etc/issue
[root@deep] /# rm -f /etc/issue.net
|
The /etc/issue.net file is the login banner that users will see when they make a networked i.e. telnet, SSH connection to
your machine. You will find it in the /etc directory, along with a similar file called issue, which is the login banner
that gets displayed to local users. It is simply a text file and can be customized to your own taste, but be aware that as noted above, if you do change it or
remove it like we do, you'll also need to modify the /etc/rc.d/rc.local shell script, which re-creates both the issue and issue.net files
every time the system boots.
