[NTLUG:Discuss] open ports "Also"

I was thinking of the "xauth" mechanism in newer kernels, but the auth port is
only for identd responses. You make have a problem connecting to remote
machines that require that. Your X11 will only be open when the X-server is
listening on the port.
I was glancing thru freshmeat.net, and PortSentry and Bastille look very good.
I'm going to try them out.

I was just trying different ideas I had to close this two ports on the machine.
I have killed all services but telnet & ftp in inetd.conf already. I went into
linuxconf because I knew I could at least disable httpd because I was not using
it. I also stopped everything but inet, network, random, syslog & xfs. Now the
only ports open are telnet & ftp? I am only assuming that one of the services in
Control Service disabled the X11 & auth port?

In the process of checking my machine for security flaws I noticed that my auth
& X11 port are open. How should I go about closing these ports? Also nmap can
tell what OS & Kernel the machine is running, does anyone know how I can prevent
nmap or other scanners from detecting the OS?
