Hello Folks, I have just become aware of a utility, nmap, to discover
open ports on my system. The output of the run is as follows:-

[graeme at barney graeme]$ sudo nmap -sS -O barney
 
Starting nmap 3.50 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-08-09 13:07

Interesting ports on barney.localdomain (192.168.1.1):
(The 1637 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT      STATE SERVICE

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.560 seconds

Are any of the above open ports posing a danger that I should close?

My apologies for a dumb question but iptables is not my forte I'm
afraid. BTW, nmap got my system wrong, its FC2 on kernel 2.6.6
