Hey,

I'm currently securing my slackware box after a fresh install. When doing a netstat -a, I get an open udp port with bootpc. How can I close/secure this? Is it possible to disable and still stay connected to the internet. If so, which file should i edit to achieve this. I connect to the internet using cable and dhcp.

Thanks.

Do you use dhcp to connect? that would be how you get an ip address from your ISP
as root try
netstat -lp
that should tell you what process is using that port
