Here are a few examples: 1. If it's the syslog port, you can close it by running syslogd with -ss, other daemons may have similar options. 2. If the port is running because of inetd, edit /etc/inetd.conf or disable inetd altogether. 3. If a network daemon is starting, uninstall it or tell it not to start (possibly by removing execute perms on the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d) -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
