I am having two unused ports open. However firewall setup in the mandrake control center, the security section does not give me any option to close those ports. In advance mode, it only gives the option to open ports �Which services would you like to allows the internet to connect to?� Then some general options such as ftp, ssh or everything are mentioned to be checked or not and a box where i can open the specified ports! Besides i don�t know where is the file where one can add lines for the to close/open ports. There is a file /etc/services which apparently is just for information, right?
