Server Services Check
Posted: 27 Mar 2014, 11:13
In the Server Services Check section of 'security test', all options are green, so I thought I had passed all checks.
Then I read the descriptions and they seem to _ALL_ be saying that in fact I _AM_ running all of the services and I'd be better off not doing so.
Should those checks not actually show up red as a failure then?
Here's the text displayed in one of them:
On most servers cups is not needed and should be stopped and disabled from starting if it is not required. This service is currently enabled in init and can usually be disabled using:
service cups stop
chkconfig cups off
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
