BTW, I noticed with Bering v1.2 ports 113, 135, 139, & 445 show up as closed/REJECT rather than "stealth"/DROP, so I tried to research why on the Shorewall site. So I clicked on the Shorewall link in the weblet. Firebird couldn't find shorewall.net, but I didn't do a lookup to doublecheck. A Google search turned up one also at SourceForge, but all the links there refer back to shorewall.net and fail. Shouldn't something or other be fixed?
I get a lot of door-knockers on 445, so I'd be inclined to make all but 113 DROP if the only impact is "slightly more chatter from Windows hosts on the LAN". My LAN isn't that busy, and the outside net doesn't even need to know I'm there, IMO. Any other reasons not to?
