Re: [expert] password in KDE 2 screensaver

[Sheridan Hawken]

Hi everyone,

I found my root account works fine with locking the screen and needing a
password to get in.  However , all of my user accounts that log in with kde
do not need a password to unlock the screen even thought it is set to
demand a password.  I have tried it on a couple of machine with a fresh
install of mandrake 7.2 and it works fine.  It seems to be after updates
have been performed that it starts to unlock the screen with out a
password.  Is any one else having this problem? Knows which package causes
it?  or Knows how to fix it?

Thanks!

Sheridan

Re: [expert] IP Masquerading

Hi Jon,

I would use port forwarding.  The rule in ipchains looks like this:

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -p tcp -L InternetIP  Port -R InternalIP Port

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -p tcp -L xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 -R xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 ( 
this allows http through to an internal machine )

There are some good how to docs on Ipchains at www.linuxdoc.org that can tell you more 
about it.
