You can use grc.com There is nothing OS specific about it. However grc.com does not do a particularly efficient scan. For a more complete one try here http://scan.sygatetech.com/ As for iptables. It is *more* than enough. However there are many ways of setting up iptables. Mandrake 9.0 uses the 'shorewall' application to set up iptables, and because shorewall is text based Mandrake have made a little GUI in Mandrake Control Centre which is adequate but limited. If you want to do anything more complicated with shorewall visit www.shorewall.net where you can learn how to manipulate the text files. Alternatively if you are more comfortable with GUIs, then firestarter is a nice GUI front end to iptables which is a lot like ZoneAlarm for Windows. Firestarter is less powerful than shorewall, but easier for newbies to relate to. You can get it here ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms (f you use firestarter do not forget to uninstall shorewall) derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
