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?
