Why does ipchains open netbios ports when policy is to deny?

2001-11-21 Thread jennyw
I have a default policy of deny on the input chain. I do not open up netbios. And yet when I run nmap to scan my computer, it shows that netbios ports (137/udp, 138/udp, and 139/tcp) are open. It also shows that port 1031/udp is open (I have no idea what this is -- nmap says it's iad2) and that

Let me guess... you're on the cablemodem network, right? I had the same thing happen to me a while back. The cablemodem companies fell under fire quite some time ago because hackers (or just snoopy persons) on the same network were able to open up the Network Neighbourhood and be able to browse

This has been a problem forever. It has been fixed in some releases of the PIX firmware, but it has been broken in more releases than not. Just give up and turn off the smtp protocol fixup. no fixup protocol smtp 25 Better yet, I could suggest you do what we have done. Dump the Cisco PIX and

Yes, the fixup smtp also has problems while using Lotus Notes.. Replicating Notes/Exchange servers causes problems because they don't use plain smtp. You'll have to open the port(s) they use for replicating (for Notes that would be tcp 1352, dunno for Exchange) -- Frank On Wed, 21 Nov 2001,

The explanation I got from Cisco is that Exchange 5.x / 2000 implements a superset of ESMTP commands. In fact with the fixup SMTP turned on the PIX only listens to seven SMTP commands and ignores all ESMTP commands. With the fixup SMTP turned off, it should allow most if not all SMTP packets to

So, I guess many of us then would like to know when cisco will address this short sighted interpretation of the rfc and fix the pix to function with the systems many are currently using? Thanks, Ron DuFresne On Wed, 21 Nov 2001, Brian Ford wrote: Mike, The PIX SMTP fixup isn't broken.
