Quick Security Scan For WHM version 11.28
This feature disables operating system-level services that are not necessary for your web server.
The services that will be disabled are:
* portmap — Maps network drives.
* atd — The “at” daemon, similar to cron jobs.
* cups — Used for printing.
* Console mouse services — Provides Linux mouse support.
* xfs — X font server; allows a server running the X Window System to communicate with a font renderer.
* NIS — Network information service.
* NFS statd — Used for network file system (NFS) mounting.
* RPC idmapd — Used for running an NFS server.
Note: A [FAILED] error message means that the service was not running when the scanner attempted to turn it off. This service will still be prevented from starting in the future.
