Hello, Is there any point in using tools like Snort and PortSentry on my laptop machine? Granted, I am paranoid :-). However, I have a pretty limited array of ports open... I use iptables to block all incoming packets on ppp0 except those that are ESTABLISHED/RELATED, and those that are coming to the ssh or auth ports (I use SSH occasionally to connect to my machine from elsewhere). There is the webserver running (for documentation), but all other ports are closed to any interfaces other than loopback. So, are any network/port-related tools useful? Thanks. -Rob -- Key fingerprint = 9296 627F 9D12 0C38 1946 C94F A7E9 C6C8 2B3C 7FE3
