My box has been scanned very aggressivly this past week.  I've got some
concerns over the security of my box especially since I've had to open
up the incoming UDP on all ports > 1024 and now have also enabled IDENT
in order to use IRC.

Is it even safe to run ident?  Do I have other options or must I give up
IRC?

Why did I have to open up UDP for web browsing to work?

How do I close the SunRPC port?

Getting Paranoid - You ARE being watched :)
