How can I disable the Bonjour and NetBIOS on a jumpbox ?
My firewall logs are filling up with denied connections from the jumpboxes I run in VMware Server 2. The Jumpboxes are all on Host-Only networks and have no need/use for these services.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin,

You should be able to achieve this by shutting down the Avahi and Samba daemons in the JumpBox. SSH in to JumpBox, sudo to root, and run the following commands:


/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/samba stop

To effect this change over reboots, remove the files /etc/rc?.d/S??{avahi-daemon,samba}.
