What is the output of ipchains -nvL? Are you using your own script? If you're trying to nmap within your network perimeter you'll get open ports because they need to be open on the inside, if you need them for your internal boxes. Are you trying with scans from outside your network, from the net? -- Patrick Benson Stockholm, Sweden _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
