# Log in as the "root" user.
# Edit the system files <code>/etc/passwd</code> and <code>/etc/shadow</code> and remove all the users except "root" and the pseudo-users. Make sure the password fields in <code>/etc/shadow</code> for the pseudo-users are either a star (*) or double exclamation mark (!!). This prevents login as the pseudo-users.
# Edit the system file <code>/etc/nsswitch.conf</code> and make <code>files</code> the only option for <code>passwd</code>, <code>groupshadow</code>, and <code>shadowgroup</code>. This disables NIS and other name services for users and groups.# In the <code>/etc/xinetd.d</code> directory, edit the files <code>eklogin</code>, <code>gssftp</code>, <code>klogin</code>, <code>krb5-telnet</code>, <code>kshell</code>, <code>rexec</code>, <code>rlogin</code>, <code>rsh</code>, <code>rsync</code>, <code>telnet</code>, and <code>wu-ftpdtftp</code>, and set the value of <code>disable</code> to <code>yes</code>.
# Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
