[cobalt-users] RE: Close some ports



Did you guys think of firewalling the port with ipchains from connections coming from eth0?
or have him only bind to 127.0.0.1 via his config?

Actually my firewall does have it on 0.0.0.0 (as listening) but I have to ask, how do you bind IMAP on 127.0.0.1 via the config? I opened up the config and changed his path to "internal", which a qucik check of netstat shows it did close the port -but amber flashy came back in the GUI as well...

Changed from:
imap  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/sbin/tcpd  imapd

To:
imap  stream  tcp  nowait  root  internal  imapd

I'd just like to disable the damn thing... I don't mind the monitor-part, but I don't want IMAP running at all from my inetd.conf file..

Thanks!
Craig
