This is completely not your problem. /etc/services is just for mapping the port number to a portname. You cannot disable ports with /etc/services! To close ports, stop the process wich is listening on it. netstat -ln will show you ports on wich a process is listening. Stop the process and the port is "closed". Do not touch /etc/services if you do not know what you are doing there! Regards, Guido
