If one wants to close the ports then you would have to comment out the line associated with them in the inetd.conf file and restart inetd. This is basic Unix/Linux thing .. it works this way on my Solaris (sparc) box, SuSE Linux box and my freeBSD box.. It's inetd that controls these things..not /etc/services. Regards, * Greg Thomas (ethant@pacificnet.net) [001217 22:11]: -**- -**-Yes, but once you kill the process associated with the port, if it is -**-commented out of /etc/services the daemon should not start up -**-the next time init scripts are run. This is an indirect way of -**-doing things, though. Haven't checked this on Linux but Solaris, -**-HP-UX, and OpenBSD behave this way. -**- --
