I'm trying out Fedora 9. I wanted to see if there were any unnecessary open ports. So I installed nmap and did a local scan (192.168.X.X behind a DSL router). I managed to close all the open ports by turning off all the services listed by nmap including sshd, sendmail and something called rpc.
However when I ran etherape, I found a persistent connection to a site called "rewards.e-games.com.ph". (After doing a dns resolve) I couldn't find any program connecting to the said site. So I installed chkrootkit but I found nothing suspicious in the output. I have never played an online game, so I'm worried by this persistent connection to the "e-games" site even when I'm not browsing and have killed (-9) all background downloads (packagekit, yum, rpm and their python helper programs). _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
