The /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services files control which network services your computer system provides. Since many of these services are insecure, the Eagle installation disables those which are insecure. Examples include the finger, lpd, Network Information Services (NIS), and rwhod daemons. In addition to completely disabling several standard network services normally controlled by the inetd daemon, the Eagle installation also replaces the ftpd and telnetd daemons with secure versions provided by Raptor Systems. HP-UX users should note that the HP-specific inetd security file /usr/adm/inetd.sec will have no effect on services disabled in /etc/inetd.conf by the Eagle installation script; if the service is not available at all, it obviously cannot, be controlled by this secondary configuration file.
The following subsection describes important changes made by the installation to the Network File System services on your A Box and G Box.
