Wow, that was quick!
Quote (Jason W @ June 04 2008,03:00) | From what I understand port 68 must be left open to have a dynamic IP addres received through DHCP. And that it is quite normal. |
If DHCP get-address is all its for, that sounds safe enough.
Quote (roberts @ June 04 2008,03:02) | Port 68 is from the pump -i eth0 used to fetch an IP. If that is a concern to you then add pkill pump to your /opt/bootlocal.sh after obtaining your IP. Port 68 will be closed. |
I might go ahead and kill the pump anyway, though, since I use an arcane dialup modem for internet, and set my lan address with ifconfig eth0 192.168.x.x
Thanx
