I am installing a new server for webmail purposes and using FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. I don't have much experience with Unix-like OSes so it's taking somewhat long time, because lot of manual reading needs to be done before each step :-) Anyway, after getting the base system installed I decided to install nmap and see which ports are open on my server. In addition to the expected ports, nmap found the following two: 111 sunrpc 587 submission I have no idea what services are keeping open these ports. How do I find out what these ports are used for and if I can close them? TIA. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
