This is a good place to start. http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/doc/90c/en/Server_Conf_Guide.html/security.html For a desktop system 'High' is probably too high a security level. You will find the system will not let you do what appears to be innocent things. If you are coming from the Windows world 'Standard' security is already much higher than you had before. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
