Hi, Netstat shows the following services on my home machine:
Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:printer *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:dict *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN Is it safe to leave it as it is? I've closed of all services in inetd.conf and I'm using Firestarter as my firewall. I'm a little paranoid that my system is listening for connections. But I don't know enough to tell if these are internal services or if these services are listening to outside connections. What do you guys advise? M.
