I have just done several "stock" installs, and there is no telnet or ftp, and portmapper/nfsd only if you ask for it. Choosing the "laptop" task also gets you an nntp server, and wwwofled (which I don't know much about), which may not be so desirable. But on the whole, a stock install seems reasonably "hardened" already. -- Michael Rowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AIM - RoweMichaelA Prof - ACM, IEEE, Computer Soc.
