All, I have been trying to secure my Debian box, which enjoys a DSL connection. I've been going through /etc/inetd.conf, commenting out services, and K'ing others in the /etc/rc2.d/, until what I have left is the following (output from nmap):
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Port State Protocol Service 22 open tcp ssh 25 open tcp smtp 53 open tcp domain 111 open tcp sunrpc So, the questions: I have read some about sunrpc in the list archives but have not found how to close the port; don't know what domain is, and am confused smtp is still there since I've commented out the line in inetd.conf ... I have set my hosts.deny to ALL EXCEPT sshd: ALL ... I guess then port 22 is not a concern? Thanks for any help with this. Trying (always!) to become a smarter user.
