Disabling a network service

To disable a network service:

1. Open the appropriate file.

   The file will either be /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/services. See topics in the section Enabled and disabled network services for the network services in these files.

2. Add a comment symbol (#) to the beginning of the line that contains the name of the network service you want to disable.
3. Close the file.
4. Reboot the system.

Note:
Disabling a network service that is required or used by the Avaya IR software can adversely affect system performance/behavior. Avaya recommends that you disable only those network services that you are sure are not required by the system. For more information, see the white paper, Avaya™ Interactive Response Security.
