Hi, I really not sure whats happening with portsentry, before I start the daemon I use nmap to see the open ports: And I get only:
22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 111/tcp open rpcbind Then i use nestat too, and I get something like this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* Which I considered normal, but then I start portsentry, and I use again nmap the result is that the machine has a lot of open ports. And then I use netstat and I get the same ports reported by nmap in State:LISTEN. Is it normal that portsentry opens a lot of ports ? The version of portsentry that I am using is 1.2-5, with sarge. I have used portsentry with another distro and this doesnt happen.
