I have a fbsd 4.0 box running nothing but natd/ipfw, and it appears to be fairly secure - I ran nmap against it from another fbsd box outside my network and it shows only the sunrpc port 111 open. I have added to my ipfw rules a rule that explicity denies port 111. I have also disabled inetd and yet get the following udp ports showing as open - 111, 514, 520. Now my question - Just what can I do to tighten my security? To make sure my machine isn't used as a relay, or just general protection? Is there some web pages that cover this basic security stuff someone can point me to? -- Chip W.
