slitaz 4 : open ports checked with nmap, is it OK ?

Hello,

I use the nmap command (as shown below) to check the open ports on local hard-drive

SliTaz 4 standard installation.

What do you think about security ?

Than'ks by advance,

root@slitaz:~# nmap slitaz

Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-08-17 08:53 CEST

Nmap scan report for slitaz (127.0.0.1)

Host is up (0.000020s latency).

rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: localhost

Not shown: 997 closed ports

PORT     STATE SERVICE

80/tcp   open  http

82/tcp   open  xfer

6000/tcp open  X11

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.27 seconds

Those ports aren't being forwarded to your external IP address and are completely local. As in secure unless the person is hacking you from within the machine.
