Re: [expert] SSH

[Jim C]

Experience tells me that when I stop shorewall from the command line (i.e. "service shorewall stop" from the superuser bash prompt) my network gets locked down. Ah dunno why. What I do to turn it off is go into Control Center and select Security | Firewall and then unselect everything except the Everything button. Then I do "service shorewall restart" just for good measure. Alternatively, one can just check the ssh button to allow access on ssh's port.

Geeze, when is Mandrake going to get a decent per-ethernet card GUI firewall configurator with an advanced option that covers GUI configuration for all the protocols for say port 1000 and below, an Internet Connection Shareing on/off button as well as a configure button. Heck, I could probably write it and I can't even get a Samba-LDAP PDC to run. ;-)

Stop or remove "shorewall" -- sure wish Mdk would have made it more

I just installed mandrake 9 and I can't get ssh in to it. Its running

installed it I used 'higher' security.
