Enable the IP firewall (by default, *NO* packets are allowed in), or disable the servers in /etc/inetd.conf, which is the "superserver" config file. Most network servers are run on request by a fork in the superserver, inetd. Some exceptions are named, and sendmail (see /etc/sysconfig and /etc/rc*). > I would also appreciate suggestions with Unix administration books. FAQ. See www.freebsd.org.
