Subject: Security Concerns


Hello all, I have a security question:

After loading and getting the OpenMosix kernel to run, I noticed that =
many
ports have opened up:

Tcp: 723
Tcp: 4660
Tcp: 22 (secure shell, this is mine)

Udp: 22 (secure shell, this is not mine)
Udp: 5428
Udp: 239.192.0.1:1334 (I have no idea what this is going to, nslookup =
shows
nothing)

I am trying to secure this box so that nothing except secure shell =
requiring
password gets in/out (this is the controlling node).  When I load the =
Redhat
kernel (2.4.20-8smp) the only port that is "open" is 22, ssh.  These =
ports
are definitely related to OpenMosix, so do I have to block them at my =
router
to pre-empt any potential problems?

As Always, thanks for all the help!
