Guys,

After i got the port forwarding and everything else
working as per my previous post, i ran a shields-up
scan from grc.com on the firewall, i.e. a scan of the
external interface.

I m a  little suprised at the results. On the firewall
i have postfix running ( smtp port 26 ), openssh ( ssh
port 22) and port forwarding of port 85 (on the
firewall ) to an internal host.

The Shields-Up scan shows port 26 as stealthed , port
22 as open and port 85 open as well. Port 113 ( ident
auth ) was listed as close.

My questions:

1. Why is the smtp port stealthed whilst other are
open?
2. What about port 113 ? Any issues / comments. How do
i get rid of it? 

regards,
marco.
