i installed portsentry <http://www.psionic.com/abacus/portsentry> to deal
with this situation. when @home scans my machine for 'naughty' (i.e.
functional) ports, the request gets dropped into the bit bucket. still
need to do some tweaking but seems to be working so far. combined with
psionic's logcheck, i get emails of any portscanning activity, too.
