Hello all?
Which ports are useless so that I could disable for the firewall
configuration?
Thanks!

Ben

I think you are approaching this a bit backwards. Assuming you are talking
about creating egress filter policies on your firewall, the better approach
is to define only those outbound ports you need and enable only those ports,
for example 80 (HTTP) or 53 (DNS). That is the most secure approach.

If you are using a Netscreen firewall, I can give you more specific advice.
