Network Services

• Controlled by scripts under /etc/init.d/

• Your runlevel dictates what services are active

  • # grep initdefault /etc/inittab (this is your default runlevel)
  • # runlevel (this is your current runlevel)
  • # ls -l /etc/rc2.d/ (this is what will happen on entering runlevel 2)
  • start/stop/restart parameters for all scripts
  • S scripts start services (/etc/rc2.d/S20snort)
  • K scripts kill services (/etc/rc2.d/K11anacron)
  • The numbers denote priority in ascending order
