Thanks Jeff, Doug, and everyone! I purged the ssh-server, and followed Jeff's advice to remove everything else. On rebooting now I have: root:tyler# netstat -tap | grep LISTEN localhost:www *:* LISTEN 4371/apache localhost:smtp *:* LISTEN 3331/exim4 I don't know what happened to famd, but it's gone now. I did have to change my bookmarks for doc-central from blackbart.mynetwork/dc to localhost/dc, and that's working. The actual change in the apache conf was in the file /etc/apache/httpd.conf. Other than that there were no surprises. Now that I have nothing listening to the outside world, do I still need a firewall? I have been using firestarter, but not consistently.
