It usually can, set it to "Listen" only on the internal IP address.

Get yourself some $LART tools. Then show them how fast they can run if someone with $GUN is after them. > Anybody who have any comments/ suggestions? Install a firewall. If you don't want a separate computer to do this, at least install iptables and BLOCK every incoming connection except perhaps ssh for remote management.
