[WBEL-users] re:iptables port 50 and 51

[jafar]

I've found http://isc.sans.org/ to be an excellent page for looking up
what certain ports are and if there are any potential exploits on them.
Use the little box on the left hand side, type the port number and press
the details button. Once you find out which service is attached to which
port, you can then Google for more detailed info as you require it :)

Port 50 is Remote Mail Checking Protocol
Killing this may stop you checking if you have new mail on your
provider's POP server.

Port 51 is IMP Logical Address Maintenance
I don't really know what that does sorry.
I hope someone else can enlighten us ;)
