All ports are available to BeOS apps, but they're not "open" unless a running application has specifically opened the port, (for the purpose of listening to incoming traffic). AFAIK, at the moment there is no way to disallow a certain BeOS app from opening a certain port, a la ZoneAlarm. Perhaps you're thinking of the BONE network preferences where one can select which network services to run. /Jonas Sundström. www.kirilla.com
