Hello,
I have just ran netstat and found out that these ports are open:
515, 6000, 113, 25
there are others but only these are connectable and in State LISTEN
(netstat --inet -an), the 25 port is the mail server postscript and
I allowed it.
Then what is port 515, 6000, 113 I thought 113 is some kind of another
mail server (not to send mail, to receive mail) but its not that.
I have checked a list of ports but they were only trojans ports only.
In linuxconf I set the 'network' to be on each boot, is this related
to one of the ports ?
After googling for "Port 515" I found out this is a printer daemon
(lpd) and I dont want others to be able to connect to it, is there
a way to block it so only 127.0.0.1 will able to connect to it ?
(ipchains ?)
Googling for port 6000 tells me it is a remote X server, others
can connect to it ?
I also run an Identd application for IRC ident and that should be port 113.
So I found out that:
113 - Identd
6000 - X server
515 - Printer Daemon
25 - Mail server
I need port 113 and 25 open, about the printer daemon... I need it to
print stuff but is it neccessary to run as a daemon ? Is there a way
to still be able to print without runing this world-wide accessible
daemon ? anyway when I connect to it what commands are availible ?
Port 25 is important for my mail, and I need it too.
So what I don't need is port 25 and 113 , X server (is this xfs?) should
be down and the printer daemon if it is not important for printing jobs.
Thanks A lot!
Regards, Eliran !
