Mandrake runs a batch of scripts under the name of msec which maintins a particular security level (1-6 i think). This can be configured through 'Mandrake Control Center' under security. If the level is set too high then the default permisions will prevent normal internet connectivity as designed for server use. Adjust to a lower level as per the instruction in the Mandrake 'Control Center'. You will need root access to do this. msec pereodically runs and if it finds anything at odds with its permision levels then they are reset back. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
