RE: Windows 2000 server ports, services to close.

[Bénoni MARTIN <Benoni.MARTIN () libertis ga>]

What I generally do is:
        - simply run a sniffer (Ethereal is my favourite :) :)) on the target,
        -list then after a while what ports are necessary (seeing which have been accessed by other machines and then 
judge if these connection are necessary or not)
        - then close everything but the ports on my list :)

The general concensus is close everything, then open only what you need.  Also, if you don't know what it is, close it.
