If you don't want inetd to start a service, comment them out of inetd.conf. Also tcp wrappers comes with 2 tools...tcpdchk and tcpdmatch. use them to test and to list your deny/allow policies, respectively, as follows: tcpdmatch daemon 127.0.0.1 tcpchk -v hope this helps! robt Jeff

I can't give you an exact answer, but I can suggest that you run some kind of IDS or packet monitor for a couple of days/weeks, and monitor traffic at each interface. 'snort' would be my number one pick if you don't already have an IDS. Generally, snort isn't used as a packet monitor , but it
