Thread: some ports closed in Fedora
Hi,
though this is not directly related to postgres, but i was wondering why are most of the ports seen closed
when one does nmap scan of these ports. Whats reason can we attribute to the fact that most of the ports in an OS are
in closed state.
Thanks,
Harpreet

You can use 'netstat -tulpen' or similar commands to list open ports and processes which are in LISTEN state. Andreas -- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft.

Also, wanted to know how to prevent remote root ftp login in fedora.
