I have messaged out SMTP in the file /etc/inetd.conf, but it's > still open when i'm running nmap. Any reasons why? Sendmail kees that 25 port open, and portmap I think the other one. Copy from /etc/defaults/rc.conf the lines that enable services, i.e those that end up in "YES", and set those that you want to disable in "NO" in your /etc/rc.conf file. Then, you can do more funny things with hosts.allow and ipfw(8), to make sure that the services that you don't want to be visible from `outside' are blocked. For hosts.allow and ipfw read the appropriate manpages. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
