   <para>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.</para>
   <para>There are several different methods for managing access to system services. <!-- RHEL5:  Decide  -->Choose which method of management to use based on the service, your system's configuration, and your level of Linux expertise.</para>
   <para>The easiest way to deny access to a service is to turn it off.

        Many UNIX system administrators are accustomed to using TCP wrappers to manage access to certain network services. Any network services managed by <command>xinetd</command> (as well as any program with built-in support for <command>libwrap</command>) can use TCP wrappers to manage access. <command>xinetd</command> can use the <filename>/etc/hosts.allow</filename> and <filename>/etc/hosts.deny</filename> files to configure access to system services. As the names imply, <filename>hosts.allow</filename> contains a list of rules that allow clients to access the network services controlled by <command>xinetd</command>, and <filename>hosts.deny</filename> contains rules to deny access. The <filename>hosts.allow</filename> file takes precedence over the <filename>hosts.deny</filename> file. Permissions to grant or deny access can be based on individual IP address (or hostnames) or on a pattern of clients. Refer to <filename>hosts_access</filename> in section 5 of the man pag
 es (<command>man 5 hosts_access</command>) for details.</para>

The <command>xinetd</command> daemon conserves system resources, provides access control and logging, and can be used to start special-purpose servers. <command>xinetd</command> can also be used to grant or deny access to particular hosts, provide service access at specific times, limit the rate of incoming connections, limit the load created by connections, and more.</para>

     <para>The <application>ntsysv</application> utility provides a simple interface for activating or deactivating services. You can use <application>ntsysv</application> to turn an <command>xinetd</command>-managed service on or off. You can also use <application>ntsysv</application> to configure runlevels. By default, only the current runlevel is configured. To configure a different runlevel, specify one or more runlevels with the <option>--level</option> option. For example, the command <command>ntsysv --level 345</command> configures runlevels 3, 4, and 5.</para>
     <para>The <application>ntsysv</application> interface works like the text mode installation program. Use the up and down arrows to navigate up and down the list. The space bar selects/unselects services and is also used to "press" the <guilabel>Ok</guilabel> and <guilabel>Cancel</guilabel> buttons. To move between the list of services and the <guilabel>Ok</guilabel> and <guilabel>Cancel</guilabel> buttons, use the <keycap>Tab</keycap> key. An asterisk (<guilabel>*</guilabel>) signifies that a service is set to on. Pressing the <keycap>F1</keycap> key displays a short description of the selected service.</para>
