that was great info, but i do not need to masq any ips, i just need to limit the ports being open, i have edited inetd.conf, but there were some ports not listed in there. here is a port scan on my box,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mearls]# nmap -sS -sU vermeer Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA7 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on vermeer.michaelearls.com (207.86.78.22): (The 3092 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 69/udp filtered tftp 80/tcp open http 111/tcp open sunrpc 111/udp open sunrpc 138/udp open netbios-dgm 515/tcp open printer 517/udp open talk 1024/tcp open kdm 1025/udp open blackjack 1026/udp open unknown Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1709 seconds from port 111 to 1026. I only need the first ones open, does your ipchain script do that without trying to masq or what do i need to change to fix that.

Closing service can be done by /etc/inetd and update-rc.d but for your purpose installing ipchain based firewall may be better. If this is gateway machine, you want to install ipmasq package. To close service, by ipchain, follow http://bugs.debian.org/87499 The script attached is actually for potato ipmasq. My quick reference site has same info. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
