Check the /etc/inetd.conf Or you can disable all inetd services ...telnet ftp etc.... by adding Inetd_enable="NO" Also check for portmap it uses port 111 If you don't need it then diable it with Portmap_enable="NO" in rc.conf -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Wolfgang Drews Sent: Sunday, 17 September 2000 3:22 AM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: closing ports Hi FreeBSD-Team, I have a little problem with closing ports on my FreeBSD-Server. I read the security-chapter in your handbook, and fount out, that ports, that are not used, should be closed. Well, i did a portscan on the machine and nearly got nervous, seeing how many ports are open, but really not used (as there are telnet, mysql, nnpt and so on ...). Now i tought, "well, search the services-file in /etc/ and try to close them in it", but that seems to be the wrong way. Can you maybe help me, and tell me, how to close all those ports i do not need? (A link to a documentation about it would maybe be enough). ok, the system is FreeBSD 4.1 (VKERN)-Release. would be great to hear from you ;-) with best regards, -Wolfgang To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
