Hello, I am configuring a computer as a firewall and ip-masquerading server. Being on this adventure (it is my first time doing this), I have the following questions:
- I did a nmap localhost and discovered that unwanted ports 'sunrpc' (111) and 'printer' (515) are open. I have not found these in inetd.conf and I do not know how to turn these off. I have already tried removing sunrpc.o from the modules, but the computer would not do that. What is this port used for? - I have heard something about putting hosts who are portscanning you automatically in hosts.deny, so that your computer is invisible for that host. Where can I control that function (and put it on)? - any other things worth knowing about private firewall ip-masq servers? Thanks in advance! Sebastiaan
