Hello!
Please excuse, the "send mail"-button has been hit a bit too fast:
Anything you do depends on what you want achieve. This question needs
your further explanation.
A fourth possibility is to use something that is called a wrapper, like
tcpd or netacl. This is very easy to install and configure: some hacks in
/etc/inetd.conf, and setting up the configuration files /etc/hosts.allow,
/etc/hosts.deny for tcpd and for netacl /usr/local/etc/netperm-table. In
sequence with a packet filter like ipfwadm this becomes a rather mighty
security tool.
Here also applies what I have mentioned in my previous posting: RTFM
before you begin! ;-)
