Newbie here. I am setting up a webserver. The sysad requires me to
disable unused ports (services) to minimize risk. I used nmap to scan
tcp ports and then a local tool (in Mandrake) to disable unused
services. Sysad tells me some UDP ports are still open. What tool did
he use to scan them? He listed the following:

 UDP ports - 23 open ports
        39 [ RLP => Resource Location Protocol ]
        42 [ Name => Name Server ]
        43 [ whois ]
        53 [ DNS => Domain Name Server ]
        67 [ bootps => Bootstrap Protocol Server ]
        68 [ bootpc => Bootstrap Protocol Client ]
        69 [ TFTP => Trivial File Transfer Protocol ]
        88 [ Kerberos 5 ]
        111 [ RPC => SUN Remote Procedure Call ]
        123 [ NTP => Network Time Protocol ]
        143 [ imap => Internet Message Access Protocol ]
        161 [ SNMP => Simple Network Management Protocol ]
        162 [ SNMP trap ]
        514 [ syslog ]
        517 [ talk ]
        520 [ router => Router routed RIPv.1, RIPv.2 ]
        749 [ Kerberos Administration ]
        1167 [ phone => Conference calling ]
        1433 [ ms-sql-s => Microsoft SQL Server ]
        1434 [ ms-sql-m => Microsoft SQL Monitor ]
        1512 [ wins => Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service ]
        1900 [ ssdp => Simple Service Discovery Protocol ]
        2049 [ nfsd => Network File System daemon ]

How can I close these ports? Can you recommend a good reading (online)
that talks about hardening servers. Thank you.
