How to Disable RIP on an AIX
- 1). Open a command line terminal console on the AIX computer. Type "vi /etc/inetd.conf" at the command prompt and tap the "Enter" key.
- 2). Use the "Arrow" keys to navigate the cursor to the beginning of the line that starts with "routed."
- 3). Press the "I" key. Type "#" in front of "routed." Press the "ESC" key. Type ":wq" and tap the "Enter" key.
- 4). Enter "vi /etc/rc.tcpip" on the command line and press the "Enter" key. Use the "Arrow" keys to place the cursor in front of the "start /usr/sbin/routed "$src_running" --g" line. Press the "I" key. Type "#" in front of the "start /usr/sbin/routed "$src_running" --g" line. Tap the "ESC" key. Type ":wq" and press the "Enter" key.
- 5). Type "ps --e --f" at the command prompt and tap the "Enter" key. Note the number under the "PID" column listed in the same row at the "routed" process. Type "kill --HUP 1111," except replace "1111" with the PID number for the "routed" process noted earlier. Press the "Enter" key.
