Thanks in advance I guess the easiest way is to open a console and type "su" and then give the root password. then type "cd /sbin" and then at the prompt typ "InteractiveBastille". This will start the dialog box and you can click through a pretty good firewall installation. Don't select yes on one question that has to do with limiting file sizes for users or something like that. You should recognize it when it pops up. It will break your ability to use the "su" function as a user. Other than that it is pretty straight forward. HTH
