My aix boxes have the port 25 listening and I want to bock that. But before that I want to check the recent logs of the sendmail activity and any open sockets using the port. Please advise.

those seem to be orphan process, it is better to wait for a reboot

you need to start it as startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q30m" as the "bd" option is required to run it as a daemon and start port 25 listening. startsrc -s sendmail won't start it in the daemon mode.

you cannot mount the same lun on two different mount points at the same time. That would probably corrupt the FS.

to stop users form traversing the fs you need to use chroot.

Yeah that is what you need to do. Add a new disk from san and create the dump lv there. You can have pri and secondary as well if you add mirrored disks.

What do you exactly mean by speed. If your IO is low then you need to reorganize your data. I believe linux has no utility to do so. Aix do have. The speed of an server can only increase if you give...

root 6423 1 0 2010 ? ...

there is no issues with that.

simply fdisk -l is the way to find out which are the new disk. If the disk are presented from SAN they wont have any partion table and hence doing fdisk /dev/<sd*> will make it clear. If you need to...

ps has options which can display the output of processes (and child processes) in tree hierarchy.

We have Unix security standards checks and the check points that the servers have smtp daemon enabled which is a unnecessary network service. I need to stop smtp (sendmail) but my server still needs...

The IT auditors have pointed some of my boxes (SUSE, Solaris 10 and AIX) have remote printer service running and that is a potent security violation. I am confused what is remote printer service and...

I have sendmail enabled in my Solaris 10 boxes. It has being flagged as an violation to unix security standard as the port 25 is listening. I want to run the sendmail to run in non-daemon mode so...
