I'm pretty sure guarddog rpms have always been available. ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/distributions/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/guarddog-2.0.0-5mdk.i586.rpm Can't say for sure, cause I use cooker 10.0, an guarddog 2.2. but as long as I can remember, it's on your CD's too. I take some pride in knowledge retention inspite of a long term brain disease (MS), but iptables rules ain't one thing I've managed, so guarddog helps me out a lot. FWIW, it's just a frontend for iptables. I doubt more recent versions add any features or benefit other than to the GUI. I just reinstalled Mdk 10.0, guarddog 2.2.0, and didn't notice any change in the gd configuration or functions. guarddog-2.2.0-1mdk -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
