Re: nmap shows open UDP port 113

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne () sysinfo com>]

auth is tcp port 113 associated, at least in most setups I've seen, and
can be disabled by editing /etc/inetd.conf and commenting it out, it's a
tad different for say a redhat system and others using xinetd, but, not
all that touch to close;

properly edit the /etc/xinetd.d file corresponding to the service in
question, particulrly the disable = line.

What is interesting is that your system responds to udp port 113....

Thanks,
