When I run "netstat -pant", I do not see the opened ports, only 22, 25, 
80, and 993.  Which makes me think "filtered" means something. 
According to the nmap manpage, "Filtered means that a firewall, filter, 
or other network obstacle is covering the port and preventing nmap from 
determining whether the port is open."  I haven't yet set up a firewall 
so it's not that.

When I ran nmap, I ran it thusly, "nmap -sS domain.com".  I could try it 
again and ask for a full TCP connect and see what it reports.

I don't see any inet or xinet in my /etc directory.  Does Gentoo put 
those somewhere else or not use it?

Thanks,
Rob
