Hi Juan !

Yes, this happnes, when there is a "firewall" running. I have portsentry
running, and when I do a portscan, it seems, every ports are available.
Indeed, they are not ! And if someone is scanning me, portsentry has already
detected it and is executing the preconfigurated task (i.e. logging,
diconnecting, putting IP into /etc/hosts.deny or whatever I told it)

Best regards

Hans
