:Thanks for every one's help - I now have it working nicely. It's amazing what
:you discover when RTFMing. Oddly enough, running nmap with the Christmas tree
:scan (after I've allowed only smtp & ssh to be connected to) gives the
:following -
:
:# ./nmap -v -v -sX foo
:
:Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor ([EMAIL PROTECTED], www.insecure.org/nmap/)
:Host foo.bar.com (123.45.67.89) appears to be up ... good.
:Initiating FIN,NULL, UDP, or Xmas stealth scan against foo.bar.com
:(123.45.67.89)
:The UDP or stealth FIN/NULL/XMAS scan took 64 seconds to scan 1483 ports.
:Interesting ports on foo.bar.com (123.45.67.89):

:Any attempt to connect to the ports listed above (apart from ssh & smtp) just
:hangs. I take it that this is expected behaiviour of the firewall accepting
:the connection and then ahnging onto it in order to slow attackers down?

Usually if a connection succeeds the firewall isn't stopping it
at all. How is nmap figuring out the service type? I assume by
making a connection and probing it.
Here is what I get when I run nmap from inside my firewall
# ./nmap -v -v -sX apollo.backplane.com
Port State Protocol Service
13 open tcp daytime
22 open tcp ssh
25 open tcp smtp
37 open tcp time
53 open tcp domain
79 open tcp finger
80 open tcp http
110 open tcp pop3
111 open tcp sunrpc
113 open tcp auth
480 open tcp loadsrv
515 open tcp printer
1022 open tcp unknown
1023 open tcp unknown
2049 open tcp shilp <--- huh? that's nfs
And from outside my firewall
Port State Protocol Service
22 open tcp ssh
25 open tcp smtp
53 open tcp domain
79 open tcp finger
80 open tcp http
110 open tcp pop3
113 open tcp auth
