Yes, I agree.
When any service is enabled, the service starts listening on it's specified port untill there is no firewall turned on. But when the firewall is turned on, how to open a port of any service so that the request regarding that could be listen.
Thanks,
Deepak

blackhole
BLACKHOLE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual BLACKHOLE(4)
NAME
blackhole -- a sysctl(8) MIB for manipulating behaviour in respect of refused TCP or UDP connection attempts
SYNOPSIS
sysctl net.inet.tcp.blackhole[=[0 | 1 | 2]]
sysctl net.inet.udp.blackhole[=[0 | 1]]
DESCRIPTION
The blackhole sysctl(8) MIB is used to control system behaviour when connection requests are received on TCP or UDP ports where there is no
socket listening.
Normal behaviour, when a TCP SYN segment is received on a port where there is no socket accepting connections, is for the system to return a
RST segment, and drop the connection. The connecting system will see this as a ``Connection refused''. By setting the TCP blackhole MIB to
a numeric value of one, the incoming SYN segment is merely dropped, and no RST is sent, making the system appear as a blackhole. By setting
the MIB value to two, any segment arriving on a closed port is dropped without returning a RST. This provides some degree of protection
against stealth port scans.
In the UDP instance, enabling blackhole behaviour turns off the sending of an ICMP port unreachable message in response to a UDP datagram
which arrives on a port where there is no socket listening. It must be noted that this behaviour will prevent remote systems from running
traceroute(8) to a system.
The blackhole behaviour is useful to slow down anyone who is port scanning a system, attempting to detect vulnerable services on a system.
It could potentially also slow down someone who is attempting a denial of service attack.
WARNING
The TCP and UDP blackhole features should not be regarded as a replacement for firewall solutions. Better security would consist of the
blackhole sysctl(8) MIB used in conjunction with one of the available firewall packages.
This mechanism is not a substitute for securing a system. It should be used together with other security mechanisms.
SEE ALSO
ip(4), tcp(4), udp(4), ipf(8), ipfw(8), pfctl(8), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
The TCP and UDP blackhole MIBs first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
