Thanks. I figured out that the "unwanted" open ports were nfs related. I'm not using nfs, so I uninstalled nfs-common and they no longer seem to be open any more.
I assume that I want the 'local address' column to be in the form 127.0.0.1:portnumber for most things. I think I can just ignore the 'foreign address' column here?
Unless I'm misreading it horribly, I assume lines like this indicate that the port is listening only on 127.0.0.1:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1322/exim4
For what it's worth, I can telnet to port 25 locally, but not from a remote machine. The open ports were like this:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35843 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 836/rpc.statd
(note: that port is no longer open).
thanks,
gavin,
