The inetd.conf file was edited over 3 months ago, the machine has had many reboots since then. Forgive me for being hesitant about listing open ports. I have security for port scans but direct access to a port. If there is a know exploit it can't be stopped if I'm not looking on. the ones I currently have open are: 79 Finger 111 Portmapper (in rc.conf I have portmap_enable="NO" so why is this coming up?) 119 NNTP which is not running as the machine is not acting as a news server 143 IMAP, again not running that I know of 540 UUCP 1024 ??? and a few others. I can block all of them with my fire wall rules, but I'm wondering why they're open in the first place.

As far as the rest of the ports you're asking about, how exactly are we to know what they are if you don't tell us which ports? -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
