I'm a bit surprised that ssh is opened, I
don't remember setting up any
sshd daemon, however, I remember Brent doing something on my machine
during the Linuxdays, so it's not entirely impossible, I will disable it
for the time being.
!!!*#&*$@## !!!! I did't do anything like that !
SSH is safe when used in SSH v2 only mode. I personally prefer let it
open even if I'm not supposed to use it, because if I've got a problem
with my console (video card locked, keyboard problem or what), I can
this way shutdown gracefully my host through the network...
I'm a bot more worried about the other two. I
don't see what I might be
doing with Sun's RPC and wish to disable this (any hint welcome).
If I'm not wrong, Sun RPC is launched by the portmap deamon.
The same is true about X11; could anyone tell me why
X11 is opening a
port on my machine, I don't intend to have anyone connect via X11 to my
host.
X is a network protocol. The case when you run the X-client on the same
host as the X-server is just a special situation. I wouldn't be
surprised that it's openend by the X server as soon as it starts. You
could protect your host by tcpwrapper, couldn't you ?
