Hai, I'm trying to secure my system, I ran pmfirewall and some tests. It seems that rpc.mountd still listens on port 1024 even on the outgoing ethernet.
I am trying hard to read up to this subject, but in the time being I would feel much better if I were able to shut off *all* services from this machine to the hostile internet. So if some kind soul could shed some light onto this, I would be much obliged:) My setup is a firewall and several local machines on a local net, the firewall doing masquerading and firewalling. For ease of upgrading I want the firewall to be able to mount a debian mirror on another local machine. In the end I also think of letting the firewall machine act as a local mail and news server (is that deemed secure?). -- groetjes, carel
