shorewall and mandrake, some ports open i can't close
 

Hello!
i use Mandrake 10.
i configured the firewall to have no port open except 4661 which is edonkey.
but i still have some ports open i just i can't close, and i don't understand why.
i join configuration files of shorewall.
thanks for the help!

sometimes, it is better to completely disable the unneccesary ports rather than using firewall to block it. I think you can safely disable X server's port listening by initiating :-

/usr/X11R6/bin/startx -- -nolisten tcp

This will disable listening port on 6000.

For port 631/IPP, you can disable unless you wish to have printing services on your Mandrake. Anyway, to remove unneccesary services, go to Mandrake Control Center->System-->Services. Then choose any other services you dont need. Cheers!
