Well, yeah, my understanding of the manual page was that if I set bind interfaces only, then it'll only respond on those interfaces. So even if someone pokes at the dialup interface, they shouldn't get a response. This doesn't appear to be the case at the moment. > can completely isolate your samba server is using a firewall.

I'm just not inclined to rely 100% on a firewall to do my security; I want the services it's protecting to be secure also. Cheers, Waider. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me.
