Hi I've got two questions :
1) I want to block certain services for the outside world (like lpd etc) but NOT for the inside network I thought I could block it with ipchains -A input -p tcp -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 515 -j DENY But if I telnet from a outside host to that port I can still connect Well I think thats because the INPUT policy is ACCEPT (I think change that to DENY is rather not a good idea) Is there another solutions for this ? ------------------------------------------- 2) #showmount -e localhost mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered #less /etc/host.allow : [CUT] portmap: 127.0.0.1 #ps -aux |grep rpc root 957 0.0 0.0 1128 0 ?
