Okay I'm just one guy with one computer and I like to surf and do email. Is there a way to monitor ports, and keep away evildoers? I'm used to Windoze programs like Black Ice, Zone Alarm and such. I would like to log port scans and such sniffer activity hitting my machine while online. I've read Network HOWTO's IPchains, and firewalling info's HOWTO's and man pages. I have no LAN, no separate 486 machine for a firewall. I've #'ed out all my services and disabled my "super server" (inetd) and tried to be as "security conscious" as I know how. There's a KDE program called kfirewall (front end for ipchains) but no docs, and as of this morning no website to get info on how to use it. What am I missing? I've looked into Ksnuffle but that seems a bit extreme for one machine and one very slow (24K) PPP dialup connection. Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Vern
