Kernels 2.2.x use IPCHAINS and the howto is correct because I used it to configure my firewall at home. NOTE: the tools are changing again in 2.4.x supposedly for the better. > > #4.

Basically to turn off all logging (not recommended!!!) just put:
logging {
category default { null; };
};
in your named.conf file. Logging is explained in great detail in
named documentation, specifically in
/usr/doc/bind-8.2.2P5/html/logging.html
( assuming you have the latest bind from Mandrake distro). Don't forget
to restart named daemon after changing config file.

If you don't use NIS the you don't need that package, otherwise this
package is required for proper functioning of NIS (Network Information
Service aka Yellow Pages).
Sorry, don't know answers to the rest of your questions.

Probably b/c you are asking too many things at once. You may have better success if you post each seperate problem seperately. Sorry. I don't know the answer to the rest. > How do you do port forwarding > with the new ipchains?

I think you can do it all just with ipchains. Not sure though I only looked at it once. === "... all thoughts of selfish desire, ill-will, hatred and violence are the result of a lack of wisdom ...

[expert] A mess of questions!
Hello, I have a number of questions in this one message. If you know the answers to any of them, please reply! Also, please CC your reply directly to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Thanks! #1. I am running NAMED from BIND on a couple machines, mostly for a caching nameserver. Named is putting a whole mess of statistics in my SYSLOG and MESSAGES file. So far, no real errors. How can I turn this excessive logging off? #2. Since I am using NAMED from BIND, is there any need of having the YPBIND package installed? #3. I posted this one last week and got 0 replies. How do you do port forwarding with the new ipchains? The IPCHAINS howto was written prior to the new format. Specifically, how do you use ip_portfw and ip_autofw? #4. I installed the RealAudio basic server version 7. It worked the first time, but now I don't know how to start it back up (after a reboot). What command turns this puppy on? #5. I also installed the FrontPage 2000 server extensions. I have several virtual http servers running fine. The FP install program got to the point where it was checking for the virtual domains, and kept scrolling down the screen, counting thousands of bogus virtual domains. I canned it, and ran their admin program and tried manually adding the extensions to a single domain, which appeared to work, but a FP client says no dice. Where can I go to get help? If this isn't the place for answers to any of the above questions, please point me in the right direction!!! Bob
