I don't find nmap nor geany using apt-get or synaptic
With my MX-16. Can someone suggest how I can get these two?
I'd rather not get a big package, just these two for now.
TIA

Show us the output of

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

between code tags like I just did, please. Those are in the standard Debian repos, so you have an issue with those.

[TJ Hoye]

Thank you for your prompt reply, Stevo.
Problem solved.

FYI - nmap in antiX stretch repo is a newer version than the one in debian.

Question about default firewall settings for MX and antiX:

Code: Select all

Comparing 	antiX 17b1   with   MX 16.1

nmap version    7.60                6.47 
 
gufw version    16.04.1             12.10.0

open ports      zero                three tcp (see below)
 
line 42**         |<-- 1-byte diff -->|

** /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf files are identical except for 
  the the values of byte 1465 of each line 42 relating to 
   /net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies=? 
				     PORT    STATE SERVICE
				     111/tcp open  rpcbind
                                     139/tcp open  netbios-ssn
                                     445/tcp open  microsoft-ds

I have a question about the default firewall settings for MX
as opposed to those for antiX.

Using nmap, gufw of slightly different versions, I get a
difference I wouldn't expect: for antiX, all ports. or at least
the first 1000 are closed by default. Using the same gufw
firewall settings, there are three ports open by default
using MX.

I do not currently intend to interface with Windows, and have
not yet set up CUPs to interface with my printer.

Should the default be all ports closed in both cases, that
is, for equally so for MX as well as antiX?

That depends on what is using the ports.

For instance, mx ships with samba server while antix does not (it can be added later if need be.)

[TJ Hoye]

Thanks, D_O.
I should have figured that out.
Just surprised, since I had not activated CUPS or Samba myself.

for future installs, check out the "services" tab in the installer, which will let you shut down services you don't want.

Thanks!

I don't recall this option making my LiveUSB;
also didn't see a choice on Sessions & Startup which applied to Samba.

ah, if you are running live, then you haven't used the installer.

Code: Select all

sudo sysv-rc-conf 

from the terminal gets you a dialog for enabling and disabling services.
