Question

My web server has "webmin" web based admin console installed and accessible on port 10000. Typically I do not use it except for adding a new domain name (mysite.com, etc). Since that is rare, do you recommended I disable port 10000 for added security?

I am running recent version of Solaris. If you do recommend it; do I use IP Tables to shut off the port? Also, in the future I can simply renable the port when I need it again?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You could just stop the Webmin service when not in use and start it again when you plan to use it.
