Where is chkconfig?

Also,  if I run netstat how do I know which ports to close and how do I
close them?

Both solarspeed and raqtweak are reliable companies. Both offer
comparable 
security packages. I have had experience working with both Leslie and
Michael 
and they are both sharp server admins and developers.

The most important thing about preventing hacks is limiting the services

running on the server. Checkout your "chkconfig --list" turn off
everything 
you absolutely don't need. Run netsat and see which ports are open,
close any 
you don't absolutely need

No security package can prevent a hack that takes advantage of a service

running that is exploitable.
So get a security package, keep up with the exploits, and keep your
server 
patched.
