The first step in blocking remote logins is also one of the first steps everyone should do after bringing up a new server:

(1) Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file and comment out all services you will not immediately need;

(2) Examples (for me) include all the r* commands, finger, etc.

This is critical for security and is just a good practice. Don't leave these services running unless you actively use them.

rstatd(1M)																rstatd(1M)

NAME
rstatd - kernel statistics server SYNOPSIS
log_file] DESCRIPTION
is an RPC server that returns performance statistics obtained from the kernel. The utility prints this information (see rup(1)). invokes through (see inetd(1M)). Options recognizes the following options and command-line arguments: Log any errors to the named log file, log_file. Errors are not logged if the option is not specified. Information logged to the file includes date and time of the error, the host name, process ID and name of the func- tion generating the error, and the error message. Note that different services can share a single log file because enough information is included to uniquely identify each error. Exit after serving each RPC request. Using the option, the security file can control access to RPC services. Exit only if o dies (see portmap(1M)), o another registers with or o becomes unregistered with portmap. The option is more efficient since a new process is not launched for each RPC request. Note, this option is the default. AUTHOR
