Maintaining security on your system is extremely important, and one approach for this
task is to manage access to system services carefully. Your system may need to provide
open access to particular services (for example, <command>httpd</command> if
you are running a web server). However, if you do not need to provide a service, you
should turn it off to minimize your exposure to possible bug exploits.
