5.3.1 Configure the Services

To configure the existing features, use the following commands:

For the Network parameters,

use netconfig

To change the host and domain name, use changehostname

For the Date/Time,

use timeconfig

For the authentication protocols,

use authconfig

To customize the SCS configuration for your location,

we suggest you do the following:

* CHANGE THE ROOT PASSWORD!!!

* reconfigure the network (netconfig)

* set the timezone, if not in the Eastern U.S. (timeconfig)

* add users (adduser)

* edit the ntp.conf file and then enable the ntpd service

For extra security:

* edit the sshd_config file to not allow root logins

* when all settings are changed, reboot the system to save any

changes
