On most Linux servers, certain services and protocols are disabled by default to enhance security. These may include remote root login, certain firewall settings, unnecessary open ports, and services like FTP, Telnet, and some network sharing protocols. This helps to reduce vulnerability to attacks and keeps the system more secure.
