E.g., I don't really care about not having ping, but would like to have ssh. I see a couple of Hmm. I think this is a firewall issue, not a security (i.e., security level issue). I would think that you would want to ping outside, so I'm not sure why having a higher security level (btw, I've always run it at normal level) because it would make sense to be able to ping other hosts, but not necessarily allow your system to be able to be ping'ed from outside your domain.

[newbie] Cannot ping Mandrake 10
I just installed Mandrake 10 from CD. The install is pretty basic -- no office, development environment and basic network services. From the new machine, I can ping other computers both inside and outside my network. I cannot ping the new machine from other machines on my local network, nor can I access any of the network services (ssh server). I've checked all the usual stuff (IP address, netmask) and it's accurate. What else should I look for? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If either one is, turn it off and clear the firewall rules from ram. Lanman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This turns off ping replies regardless of the firewall setting. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I changed the security level from 4 to 3 and can now ping and ssh to the new server. But now I have another question... Is there a way to use a higher security level and tweak it to enable certain types of access. E.g., I don't really care about not having ping, but would like to have ssh. I see a couple of files (security.4 and security.5) in /etc/security/msec... is it possible that the .4 and .5 correspond to levels and lists what's allowed?

Also, it could be that your NIC isn't supported or not configured properly. Try unplugging your Cat5 cable from the NIC and retest your local loop. Also, see if your local loop is listed in your /etc/hosts file. If that doesn't do it, try standing on your desk while yelling and screaming until someone comes to fix your system. It probably won't work, but at least you won't feel so frustrated! BTW, Isn't New Hampshire the state where everyone talks funny? Or is that Maine? I always get the two confused! Grin!
