Updating services on remote server
 

Another noob question:P

I port scan my root server and notice alot of vulns so im going to try and secure my server.The thing is i have plesk running and i wanted to know how i would go about updating services, and without affecting my plesk install.Many many thanks for the assistance.:)

How did you port scan? From the machine itself or from and outside source?

I would use one the portscanning websites out there like http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe/

Scanning from the machine itself will more than likely show many open ports since scanning the localhost. If machine is behind a firewall router then the remote scanner sites will only be able to scan the router itself unless you have ports forwarded through or a dmz setup.
