newbie question about honeypot

["J. Bakshi" <bakshi12 () gmail com>]

Dear list,

My home server is already running iptable firewall. Though nmap scan able to show the correct os finger print and the 
open ports. I have come to know about honeypot which can fool the port scanners. But I am still very confused about 
honeypot and its implementation. I like to simply implement a honeypot which can hide the open ports but shows some 
other non opened ports to the scanner as well as provide a false os fingerprint report. There is honeyd and 
tinyhoneypot. Which one can do this and how to configure ? Please suggest.
