The reason I say this is because besides port 22, 80 and 10000 no other port seems to be open (based on a port scan). I just installed postfix and courier-imap and wanted to test ports 25 and 110, but they do not respond even though postfix is running, I have enabled the ports in master.cf. Also they are in /etc/services. Looking over documents and checking my install, /etc/rc.firewall is not enabled in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. I assume I could go through rc.firewall and set it up for those ports I need opened, and enable it in rc.conf, but whereas we have a gatewall/firewall for our company, I don't see a lot of reason for having all the ports closed down on this server. Is there an easy way to enable them all? Curtis
