If you don't need the ports to be open to everybody on the Internet, selectively allow (or selectively disallow) access to these ports using ipchains/iptables. If you need the ports to be open to everybody (eg: SMTP for a mail gateway, HTTP/HTTPS for your webserver), then don't be afraid if people find out these are accessible when they do portscans of your box. Because people should know those, anyway, right? Work instead to secure the daemon listening on that port. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
