| hello i have this error on csf. can you explain me more about it /
NG The servers runlevel is currently set to 5. For a secure server environment you should only run the server at runlevel 3. You can fix this by editing /etc/inittab and changing the initdefault line to:
id:3:initdefault:
and then rebooting the server
tnx

| Runlevels determine which processes run on your system during startup / shutdown
Runlevel 5 is multiuser/graphical and is designed to be used if your machine is running a desktop environment.
99% of the time Linux servers do not need a GUI, so you should be using runlevel 3
You can change your default runlevel in /etc/inittab for most Linux distributions.
