Thanks, I'll try this as soon as my apt upgrade is done. Also, I have assigned a static 192.168.0.NNN to this pc and I am behind a router I bought for my DSL. My pc itself does not have a firewall yet. I want to use the iptables and my last try at setting up a server had ipchains automatically installed when I answered yes to Redhats firewall install question.
Can my pc still be hacked at this point?
