I admin several servers that firewall hosts that are portscanning them, for example. You probably want to use netstat instead: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ netstat -a | grep LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:32768 *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:time *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:discard *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:daytime *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:1011 *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ipp *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN That's what's running on my Woody system, and several of those are due to packages I installed later. Try the experiment again using netstat (or lsof) instead of nmap and see what's *really* listening on your system. I suspect the situation may be less dire than you original thought. :) -- Kirk Strauser The Strauser Group - http://www.strausergroup.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
