Hi,

I have a virtual server hosted at my ISP with Gutsy running and I have installed a web server and access the server using ssh.

The only ports that are shown to be active when using nmap are 80 and 22.

At the moment I don't intend to activate any other ports, so my question is would adding a firewall, or activating IPTables, be redundant or not?

Thanks.
Chris
