this is not true, if your system runs with a minimum of secure
configuration. You do not need to run a firewall, if you do not have open
ports.
Using "netstat -tulp" as root will print all the processes you have to
terminate, or decide you want to use (if you want to use them a firewall
will have to permit those ports, anyway)
