I have done some security checks and found that the following ports are not stealthed but closed:

I would like them to be stealth. I run a standard firewall on my SuSE 9.3 Pro system. Any suggestions?
Two things:
1) What does "stealth" mean in this context?
I think "stealth" means that the pakets are dropped rather than rejected (by a firewall). It's a common "feature" of desktop security products for "the other OS", at least almost all companies claim, being "stealth" is absolutely necessary for 100% protection. It's an illusion if you ask me. ;-) Cheers, Ingo -- Ingo Strauch ---- Registered Linux User #227900 (http://counter.li.org/) GPG Key Fingerprint = DEC8 1B12 9573 6BE7 7A99 C33F 809C 8C2C 772E 66A1 http://www.the-one-brack.org/
