Hi FreeBSD-Team,

I have a little problem with closing ports on my FreeBSD-Server.
I read the security-chapter in your handbook, and fount out, that
ports, that are not used, should be closed. Well, i did a portscan
on the machine and nearly got nervous, seeing how many ports are
open, but really not used (as there are telnet, mysql, nnpt and so
on ...). Now i tought, "well, search the services-file in /etc/ and
try to close them in it", but that seems to be the wrong way. Can
you maybe help me, and tell me, how to close all those ports i do
not need? (A link to a documentation about it would maybe be enough).

ok, the system is FreeBSD 4.1 (VKERN)-Release.  

would be great to hear from you ;-)

with best regards,

-Wolfgang
