I should have reread your info below when I was ready to start the install. I did do the file limits and ended up with the su problem but I found the limits file and remarked out the appropriate line. I had another problem in that after the install of bastille, I started the firewall from the command line and the firewall worked better than the tiny firewall but I still have UDP ports closed (not blocked) and some UDP ports are wide open. Another problem occured after rebooting that caused me to not be able to surf the web. It seems that my DNS entries for my ISP's servers were preventing me from going anywhere. Strange problem since the internet connection was working with that config prior to rebooting. Don't know if I want to reboot and auto start bastille again and end up with more problems (too many other projects to do).
