Searching to understand some system modifications

linux-2c5j:~ # for I in avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd sshd ; do chkconfig $I ; done
avahi-daemon  off
avahi-dnsconfd  off
sshd  off

Thank you for this command, I am going to use it in future to check. I know I should be better trained, but belief me, currently it is not possible for me to work on CLI commands.
With the encryption problem it is exactly what you said. So if it is a known bug of 11.1 fine. Actually you can access the partition and the data but BTW /sysinfo cannot.
For sysinfo the volume results inexistent.
I will monitor in future frequently if there is ssh going on.

I aree that serious monitoring in this case is important. It will help to get more confidence in your system.

I am also with Robin_listas that you could have had avahi on at the time of the messages, but it is difficult to prove this or the the contrary.

BTW I have allways switched avahi off direct after installation of a system. I never got any problems, messages or otherwise from the system about this except that on every boot CUPS says in /var/log/messages:

Sep 12 10:19:24 boven cupsd[2508]: *** WARNING *** The program 'cupsd' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
Sep 12 10:19:24 boven cupsd[2508]: *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
Sep 12 10:19:24 boven cupsd[2508]: *** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=cupsd>

I can understand that because the zero network config is of course much about network printers pluged in without any configuration done. Thus I can understand when you use such network printers, not running avahi is a problem.

You would get that message too if avahi were running. It is complaining of
a programming error in cupsd. It is a message to the devs of cups.

Notice that even if the service avahi is not running, the libraries are
there, and cups tries to tell something to avahi, and this one causes the
warning message when it sees that cups is using the wrong API. My guessing,
of course.

In any case, I don’t mind as long as avahi is switched off in the systems I manage.

I did that, too. In this computer I haven’t bothered. I haven’t seen any
advantage of avahi in use, but there are so many things to do that I
haven’t bothered removing it this time.

I also think it is not that important/dangerous to have it on, but I keep the number of open ports at a minimum and do not run a firewall in the system (though I have a firewall in the router).
All personal preference.

I always have firewalls in all machines that allow it, I feel safer. It
makes life more complicated, though.
