Hi all,

The company that maintains our CL servers (cluster of HP-UX Itanium servers) wants to disable several OS protocols for security reasons. These are the protocols they want to disable:
telnet
tftp

bootps

finger

login

shell

exec

uucp

ntalk

auth

daytime

time

echo

discard

chargen

kshell

klogin

ncpm-pm

ncpm-hip

Will disabling these protocols have any negative influence on Cloverleaf? Do certain TCL-commands (like exec or clock) use these protocols?

TIA!
