<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Mandrake 7.1 box that I've run the
Bastille script on. Every once in a while I get a security check message
that tells me that a port has been opened for listening (port 6000 usually) and
that there are certain world writable files on my system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for the programs that actually run the
checks and generate these messages, but can't find them. Are they just
part of the kernel? I would like to launch the security check manually,
but it seems to me that maybe this can't be done. Am I right about
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only executable I can find is msec which sets
the level of the security check.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On a similar note, how would I find what is
actually opening a port for listening so I can investigate the messages about
port 6000 being opened? I've looked at the security logs in /var/logs and
don't see anything giving me more info than I already have.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>TIA for any light you can shed on
this...</FONT></DIV>
