Along with Pmfirewall you should also configure portsentry to watch for
port scans. Pmfirewall, using Ipchains, is a wonderful first step, but a

anything less then two layers and thats cutting things down to bare bones.

pmfirewall should do you just fine. You will need to add some things to it
as you find ports left open here and there, but basically it's a good start.

Hi All:
I am using ML 7.2 for a home desktop system. I only browse the internet
using a 56K modem. How much internet security do I need? Do I need
ipchains or whatever? I am only on the internet 3 to 4 hours a day. I
have ML set to medium security!! Thanks
