Hi,
I do periodic nmap scans on one machine that has some important services
installed on it. I have also installed GNOME on that machine. When I log on
to that machine, I do get the GNOME control panel to make the interaction a
little more colorful. A port scan conducted during my login session show that
different applets on the control panel use different ports on the system.
I have blocked these ports using ipchains. The bigger problem is, on a different
login session, the applets were using different ports. Is this normal behaviour
of the GNOME applets?
Thanks for any help or pointers.
