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 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
