[Sheflug] Security (again, the final word)

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

Well, I have been on a disabling spree, and taken out many useless
services (I am not a webserver, intranet server, or any server. Just a
single machine with a dial up connection.)

ShieldsUP now reports:

21 - FTP		closed
23 - Telnet		stealth
25 - SMTP		stealth
79 - Finger		closed
80 - HTTP		closed
110 - POP3		closed
113 - IDENT		OPEN
139 - netBIOS		closed
143 - IMAP		closed
443 - HTTPS		closed

So the situation has improved slighly. Still firewall practice would be
nice (I am planning on building a new mail/proxy server for work if they
provide the bits. Debian or SuSE can provide the software ;-)

Life would be so much easier if we 
could just look at the source code.
