Thanks for various comments regarding cc:Mail etc.  If anyone else has opinions
I look forward to hearing them.

I'm going through my /etc/services file again (Solaris 2.3). The FW+Inet 
Security bible makes a load of recommendations about what to allow - 
however it doesn't consider all the entries in the default solaris services
file, viz

name		42/udp	nameserver
rje		77/tcp
hostnames	101/tcp	hostname	# usually to sri-nic
iso-tsap	102/tcp
x400		103/tcp
x400-snd	104/tcp
csnet-ns	105/tcp
printer		515/tcp
courier		530/tcp
new-rwho	550/tcp		#experimental
rmonitor	560/udp		#experimental
pcserver	600/tcp		#experimental
ingreslock	1524/tcp
lockd		4045/udp	#NFS lock daemon/manager
lockd		4045/tcp	#NFS lock daemon/manager

I'm inclined to take all of these out.  I'm slighly wary as to whether I'm 
going to shoot myself in the foot by doing so however, as I don't really
know what half of these do!  We don't have any need for X.400 mail; I'm
not running a printer or NFS from my firewall either.  And needless to
say I'm not running Ingres on it!!!  Anyone comment upon whether I should 
keep any of these ?

Thanks all again,
Danny
