hey all
I have been hardening and optimizing my system lately and I am really happy with Manjaro and my setup, however I would like to know if there are any errors under the hood.
How do I know if there are some things running in the background that are causing trouble?
One thing I found out through lynis for instance is that one or more processes which were waiting to get IO requests handled first.
With this command I checked what it was: while true; do date; ps auxf | awk '{if($8=="D") print $0;}'; sleep 1; done
the output from that command for me is this (repeatedly):
Sun Dec 6 12:13:31 PM CET 2020
root 93931 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D 12:08 0:00 _ [kworker/u16:38+events_unbound]
You could try to look at the output of systemd-analyze security also…
Don’t be alarmed at the status of most system utilities that were installed by the official repos though, you could just check for unknown services…

how do you harden this?
I guess i need to change settings in the .services files?
but i don’t know what to do, I also could not really find a guide
does anybody maybe know how to tackle this?
alright thanks man, it’s a complicated topic indeed i wish there was some kind of guide that said which services need which settings for instance.
but thanks for the link
