Portsentry will listen on *all* ports that are *not* running services if
those ports are listed for TCP_PORTS and UDP_PORTS in portsentry.conf. If
you don't want to have Portsentry listen to those ports remove them from
those variables.

Same thing. If a service isn't running on a port there's nothing listening
on it until you tell Portsentry to listen on that port. If you've disabled
the services you don't need you're in a lot better shape than most people.
