It depends. What's running on port 139? Do you have one of the PC add-in host boards (I forget what they're called, but they let you run NT on an AS400) in the machine? If you found this port open via a port scan, did the port actually respond? Or does it just show open? -----Original Message----- From: Penetration Testers [mailto:PEN-TEST () SECURITYFOCUS COM]On Behalf Of Adams, MarkRobert Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 3:44 PM To: PEN-TEST () SECURITYFOCUS COM Subject: Port 139 Open on AS400 a Security Issue? Are there any problems with having port 139 open on an AS400? Everyone knows why it's bad on M$, but I'm not sure what the security issues are on the AS400.
