Tom, I followed your advice and installed guarddog. Fired it up, and it almost scared the s*** out of me, Insisted on removing my firewall (shorewall, I suppose) first. Then, I stared at this GUI, and - once again - reckoned that I'm a complete idiot. I don't have the faintest idea of what to do in this GUI in order to block or stealth my ports (especially port 135 and 139 who seems to have something to do with SMB and NetBIOS. I don't use those M$ things, so what the heck are they sitting on my system for ?). Well, I clicked "cancel" and immediately the CLI showed up, telling me something about "mutex destroy failure", and locked up. So for now, I think I'll stick with shorewall and hope the best. Especially, I hope for a Merry Christmas to you and everyone else on this fine list, Tom. Kaj Haulrich. -- ** Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer **
