System security question
Hi,
Netstat shows the following services on my home machine:
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:printer *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:dict *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN
Is it safe to leave it as it is? I've closed of all services in
inetd.conf and I'm using Firestarter as my firewall. I'm a little
paranoid that my system is listening for connections. But I don't
know enough to tell if these are internal services or if these
services are listening to outside connections.
What do you guys advise?
M.
