Quick Security Scan

For WHM version 11.32

This feature disables operating system-level services that are not necessary for your web server.

To begin the scan and shut down the services:

  • Click Proceed.

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 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.
