I think the filer listens on port 80 even when http is unlicensed so that it can offer html-ized man pages. I'm not sure there is a way to turn it completely off...?

Hi, I've noticed that in DoT, the filer still has tcp port 80 open and

listening

even with "options httpd.enable off."

Since the nimda and code red worms send attack traffic to any hosts which respond on port 80, regardless of whether it's a vulnerable windows

webserver,

is there any way to actually prevent the filer from having tcp port 80

open

and listening?

Thanks,

-Leigh
