I've installed FreeBSD 4.1.1 on a new computer which is intended to be a web
server.  I've installed ssh and sendmail as well as apache webserver.  I
chose medium security.  After the install, I did a portscan on this box and
it revealed the following ports were open:

192.168.1.x  :21    ftp
192.168.1.x  :22    ssh                  SSH Remote Login Protocol
192.168.1.x  :23    telnet
192.168.1.x  :25    smtp                 mail
192.168.1.x  :53    domain               nameserver
192.168.1.x  :79    finger
192.168.1.x  :80    www-http             World Wide Web HTTP
192.168.1.x  :111   portmap
192.168.1.x  :513   login
192.168.1.x  :514   shell                cmd
192.168.1.x  :587   unknown service.

Can anyone tell me what ports 111, 513, 514 and especially 587 are open for,
and if they are necessary for a web server.  Should I close them?

Thanks.
