I think that has changed with several distributions. I know that ubuntu, for example, doesn't come with openssh-server, and portmap is aimed squarely at the loopback interface. As far as I know, a default install of ubuntu doesn't have _anything_ listening to the world. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. So if gentoo comes that way too, good on them. -CMP -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
