Well, here is a list of TCP ports which were open on byte-me, a sun4u
machine running 9.0 with mitchb logged in, according to "athinfo
byte-me listeners":
13 daytime
21 ftp
22 ssh
23 telnet
37 time
79 finger
111 sunrpc
544 kshell
811 write
2105 eklogin
2108 rkinit
3715 gshell
6000 X
32771 ???
49155 athinfo
I think port 32771 is probably xscreensaver. So, it looks like Andrew
is correct unless something is listening to a UDP port, and I don't
believe anything GNOMEish does.
So, I think you can take this task off the list as a high-priority
item. There are still local attacks to be concerned about, although
on all platforms except Linux we're hopelessly behind the game there.
