i'm too new to answer that in detail, but there are different ways of doing it... one is to enable the firewall and allow only the ports (and even ip addresses) u like open for others to connect. another way is to remap the ports so if people scan u, they usualy scan for well known services-ports, they get nothing on the standard ports, but your services listen to a remaped port (its number is chosen by you). i think there is also spesific apps that block (or monitor) only certain ports...not sure though. dont know if they are popular in unix world. they're used a lot in ms-win for blocking netbios etc. probably your best bet is to enable the firewall. --- Thorel <joe.lawrence@business-aid.net> wrote: > Hi how are you all? > Ok i have a question how do i turn on and of ports > on my freebsd computer? > > Thanxs > > Joe Lawrence > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of > the message __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
