open ports

["Tobias S. Hofer" <tobias.hofer@datacomm.ch>]

i use iptables for my personal firewall.
for proper configuration i need some information
about ports used by different services.

not the lower one. i can read the /etc/services
on my one:)

but for the use with icq, i'm not sure if i've
opened the right one (i don't think so because
if got some problems, e.g. on file transfers)

in addition: to be able to play yahoo games there
also must be open some ports above 35000 i think...
but which one?

i wonna use some scripts to open and/or close
needed ports dynamicaly..;)

is there a paper available?

thx @ll
