Can close port

[linuxluis]

Thank you all for the help no the port. But I still cant close these port.

21/tcp open ftp --want to close
22/tcp open ssh
23/tcp open telnet --want to close
80/tcp open http
113/tcp open auth --want to close
443/tcp open https

How would i close those.

I can't find them in the chkconf --list
more in the /ect/inetd.conf file ...

Thank you

Why is there always discussion about "closing ports"? Why don't people simply remove the daemon that is running on that port?

slacker_x, a lot of the time the ftp, http, whatever servers arn't running all the time. inetd runs and answers requests on the ports, then starts the right server.

What do you mean? Did you comment (#) out the ftp, telnet and auth lines?

Well...I know on some systems (Mandrake) it is possible to install the apropriate software to run the servers and never realize it. So...just go through and remove the software, and you'll clean up a lot. (This is true for any system you're running.) Also - yeah - shut down your daemons.
