That isn't such a good idea. That will potentially protect those ports,
but won't do much for other ports on the system. You can use something
like ipchains to block remote access to all ports by default and prevent
accidentally shooting yourself in the foot later. You may also have
some processes listenning on ports that won't work with tcpserver.
