Shorewall is a lot easier to manage through editing the config files than the Mandrake GUI Just edit /etc/shorewall/rules The text is self explanatory. I suspect those ports are configured as 'REJECT' which will cause them to appear as 'closed' in your firewall test. Configure them as 'DROP' and they should appear 'stealthed' After any change restart shorewall with shorewall restart If the ports are not listed at all, then shorewalls behaviour will be controlled by the default rules in /etc/shorewall/policy If everything looks OK, but the test still shows open ports, then it is possible that the test has not been able to determine your IP address correctly, and you are actually testing one of your ISPs servers. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
