I installed 4.6 on my mobile computer gladly noting that
when testing it using nmap ( http://www.insecure.org/)
only ssh, smtp aand another service which was unknown to me until now
was open.

I'm just wondering why on the one hand care is taken to close as much
as possible then on the other hand a comparably unknown and maybe untested
service is opened to the outside.
