install a firewall... why don't you have one up and runnign already?? that's what they are there for. note that a port like "3127" could be used by anything that feels like it, don't think that mydoom is the *only* thing to have ever used that port number, and don't think that it's even important, as mydoom is of cours a windows virus so is irrelevant in a linux context.
why? FC5 has a perfectly capable firewall in it. Quite why anyone would deploy a server on FC5 is another matter though. just run "system-config-firewall"
