Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 16:06:02 JST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Recently I started using the 'delegated' proxy server for the small local network I got. 'delegated' is working fine but what confused me is that virtually any user can run proxy servers on ports(I guess higher ports, like 8080 etc). For example: a user without any extra priviledges can run a proxy telnet server on port 8023(or a http proxy server on port like 8080, ftp proxy server.......etc.) so the user can use that port 8023 as his will to telnet to any other machines, local or outside(and those machine shows that the telnet conections was from the machine where the user is running the proxy telnet server). Now, my question is: Is there any way to limit the ports open-able by the average users ?(The /etc/services file does not have any mention of ports 8080 or 8023, though it got the last limit as 26208) Advance thanks for any help or pointer. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
