The shorewall firewall in 9.0 is easier to set up by hand than with the GUI Just edit /etc/shorewall/rules read the examples, then edit the lines at the bottom which define which service names(or port numbers) are allowed to access from the local lan to the net or firewall (net- internet fw= the server itself masq= The local net with NAT) Other interesting files are /etc/shorewall/zones /etc/shorewall/policy After making edits service shorewall restart derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
