Hi people, i have some question about how to close udp ports in my smb.conf file. Here I go.... I have the following in my smb.conf file: [global] bind interfaces only = true interfaces = eth0 lo socket address = 192.168.0.1 127.0.0.1 host allow = 192.168.0. 127.0.0.1 But doing netstat -n -all shows ports 137-138 udp listening in 0.0.0.0, how do i block these ports without using some firewall (iptalbes,ipchains) rules. Basically because i like to close everything manually before doing some firewalling rules. Im using Mandrake 8.0 w latest samba . Thanks people, Erick Perez Net Admin --
