[Techtalk] closing ports in /etc/services

[Carla Schroder]

OK uber geeks, me again. I've always managed opening/closing ports with boot 
scripts, firewalls, and individual program configs. Now I see this document 
http://www.resnet.mtu.edu/support/linux/ports.php3  that says you can simply 
comment out ports you want to keep closed in /etc/services. Sounds daffy to 
me- what say ye? I'm running Debian, if that matters. 

cheerios,
Carla
