neko.eth0@gmail.com asks: QuestionHow can I completly disable the Finger Service? Instead of manually creating .nofinger files on each user Home folder. Thanks!

Wait… telnet is running by default? That doesn’t sound wise. Could you clarify?
telnet is an option. Those are installed services, not running services.
Do there can any GUI tools to do this, like putty, implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. Thanks.
Good post. But how can you make a program run on system startup?
