I've been using iptables-save which gives nearly the same output but
fails to explain why 2 online scanners show those ports

You can safely ignore that stealth FUD.

Why do you say it can be ignored?

Use iptables-save instead.
I do.
Thanks for your thoughts,

Something else you might do now is to place temporary logging rules
before your 'DROP' rules, to confirm whether it is indeed iptables
which is blocking those packets. No logs, it's somebody or something
else. And if you have anything
I've run into a difficulty with iptables in that both GRC.com and
PCFlank.com's firewall scans show ports 137-139 and 445 as blocked but
not stealthed in spite of the fact that I have these statements in my
firewall script:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 137:138 -j DROP

Howdy,
When I started to setup my Linux computer to forward IP packets
to my Windows computer I realized my copies for the HOWTOs are dated
so tried to update them with 'apt-get install doc-linux-text' which
failed. After fumbling a bit I went searching at debian.org only to
find there is no
I don't need xserver-xorg-video-mach64 or xserver-xorg-video-r128
to run X on my machine but xserver-xorg-video-radeon comes bundled with
them and xserver-xorg-video-ati. A little experimentation established
that X works fine without xserver-xorg-video-{mach64,r128} but apt-get

Maybe ipv6 is disabled in your system. Do you see the ::1 address when
you run 'ip addr' ?
Hi Filip,
You hit the nail on the head. I didn't understand that in the message:
Howdy,
I hadn't rebooted since dist-upgrade last January then something
caused a lockup, no video, no keyboard such that I did a hard power off.
That was 2 days ago and since I've rebooted exim4 can't connect to
127.0.0.1:25 hence fetchmail can't transfer inbound mail.

I think so. At leastwhen I run 'do netstat -tlpn | grep :25', I see:

Hi,
My brother Rick, a windrider, put together a webpage,

about sailing and wind surfing that has grown too large and should be

Can anyone point me to any tools that would

Unless you specifically don't ask for them, that's what you get - it's a

Are you sure the line is OK? Check the Carrier Detect( CD) LED on the
modem. If it's off, it can't see the modem at the other end.
Thanks for the thought Chris I'll check the light next time it happens.
