hi im looking for some security help on FreeBSD, im using it as a workstation pc and not as a server so i dont want to be hosting any services to the outside world, im using FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE and have the following open ports:

Port       State       Service
22/tcp     open        ssh                     
25/tcp     open        smtp                    
514/udp    open        syslog                  
587/tcp    open        submission              
2504/tcp   open        unknown

how do i close all none needed ports so other people cant access them and does anyone recommend a good firewall program thats in the ports system? i have used portsentry but had some errors, something about stealth, i had a look on google but didnt find any documentation that could help. If anyone knows how to get portsentry working or recommends another firewall please email me, thanks.
