How to set Daemon umask
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/init, and add or correct the following line:
The settings file /etc/sysconfig/init contains settings which apply to all processes started at boot time.
The system umask must be set to at least 022, or daemon processes may create world-writable files. The more restrictive setting 027 protects files, including temporary files and log files, from unauthorized reading by unprivileged users on the system. If a particular daemon needs a less restrictive umask, consider editing the startup script or sysconfig file of that
daemon to make a specific exception.
Disable the rhnsd Daemon
The rhnsd daemon polls the Red Hat Network web site for scheduled actions. Unless it is actually
necessary to schedule updates remotely through the RHN website, it is recommended that the service
be disabled.
The rhnsd daemon is enabled by default, but until the system has been registered with the Red Hat
Network, it will not run. However, once the registration process is complete, the rhnsd daemon
will run in the background and periodically call the rhn check utility. It is the rhn check
utility that communicates with the Red Hat Network web site.
The init Daemon
The init daemon is the system and service manager for Linux. It is the first true process Linux starts when it boots and as such, has a PID of 1 and is the ancestor of all processes. The init daemon has been around since the early days of UNIX, and many people have worked to improve it. The first Linux init daemon was based on the UNIX System V init daemon and is referred to as SysVinit (System V init daemon).
Because SysVinit does not deal well with modern hardware, including hotplug devices, USB hard and flash drives, and network-mounted filesystems, Fedora/RHEL recently replaced it with the Upstart init daemon (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ and http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki). Fedora 15 has moved past Upstart to systemd init daemon.
The NLnet Labs Name Server Daemon (NSD) is an authoritative RFC compliant DNS nameserver. It was ?rst conceived to allow for more genetic diversity for DNS server implementations used by the root-server system and it has been developed for operations in environments where speed, reliability, stability, and security are of high importance. NSD is currently used on root servers such as k.root-servers.net and is also in use by several top-level domain registries.
nsd - Package Open-source nameserver daemon.
Update script affected by the setting
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/nsdup
NSD is an authoritative only, high performance, simple and open source name server. The latest current stable release is NSD 3.2.8.
OpenLDAP server daemon slapd Installation in Ubuntu
First, install the OpenLDAP server daemon slapd and ldap-utils, a package containing LDAP management utilities:
sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
By default slapd is configured with minimal options needed to run the slapd daemon.
The configuration example in the following sections will match the domain name of the server. For example, if the machine’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is ldap.example.com, the default suffix will be dc=example,dc=com.
Populating LDAP
OpenLDAP uses a separate directory which contains the cn=config Directory Information Tree (DIT). The cn=config DIT is used to dynamically configure the slapd daemon, allowing the modification of schema definitions, indexes, ACLs, etc without stopping the service.
