Hmmm... editing /etc/services does NOT disable the services that provide them. This file is strictly a mapping file. It only defines what the port numbers are well defined services. Commenting out lines in /etc/services only undefines them and the errant ports with their associated service will *still* be open. If you undefine a service from /etc/services, nmap will simply show the port number as open instead of the service name. -- ___ eric pareja ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) User #8159 http://counter.li.org \e/ [ Philippine Linux Users' Group + http://plug.linux.org.ph ] Software v [ IRC /join #plug @irc.free.net.ph ] [ debian-tl fldp ] Freedom "...the symbol is nothing.
