Hello, I notice that when I have netatalk running, the afpovertcp port is open but since I only netatalk to network with MOL, I'd like to close the port to the outside world.
I've tried looking in the usual places to do this, but can't figure out how to close the port. Any ideas?
Well, it depends on which kernel you are running, but you can close the AFPoverTCP port (548) by applying a special filter rule that makes your System "drop" incoming connections on port 548. If your system is running a 2.2series kernel you have to use the "ipchains" command, in case aof kernel 2.4.x you should have a look at "iptables". Both of them can be used to apply very powerful filtering rules to "secure" your system. hth, Christian -- Christian Schmidt schmidtc@chemie.uni-hamburg.de
