A good example of a DoS problem lies in inetd.conf on Solaris 2.6 and other versions: xaudio stream tcp wait root /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver Xaserver -noauth -inetd There is no /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver. When nmap hits this port, it will loop there forever, using up all the cpu on the scanned box. Unfortunately, that line is not commented out in inetd.conf. -- Rick Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rmkhome.com - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: general discussions about Nessus. * To unsubscribe, send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe nessus" in the body.
