Hi all, Now that I've ADSL working, I suppose I'd better take a few precautions.
1. Running woody so is there a Woody specific line to add to sources'list for security updates? 2. nmap from a remote host shows the following: Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor ([EMAIL PROTECTED], www.insecure.org/nmap/) Interesting ports on host217-35-25-225.in-addr.btopenworld.com (217.35.25.225): Port State Protocol Service 9 open tcp discard 13 open tcp daytime 21 open tcp ftp 22 open tcp ssh 25 open tcp smtp 37 open tcp time 53 open tcp domain 79 open tcp finger 80 open tcp http 111 open tcp sunrpc 113 open tcp auth 139 open tcp netbios-ssn 515 open tcp printer 901 open tcp unknown 1024 open tcp unknown I see no need to share a printer, port 25, dns or finger with the internet at large. In fact, I don't know what finger, sunprpc, time, discard, daytime do :-( Any suggested URLs apart from the http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Security-HOWTO.html appreciated. Thanks. -- Patrick Kirk GSM: +44 7876 560 646 ICQ: 42219699
