Hi Mark You posted this URL on the 'newbie' list yesterday. I tried using it but it fails with 'unknown host'. Can I ask you to check it again, to see if there are any typos in it. Normally, I don't get too excited about broken links - I just move on - but your description of this tutorial as 'the best ever' has me intrigued. Thanks.

Re: [newbie] Yet another question on Bastille iptables
On Thu, 13 Dec 2001 11:12:34 -0500 Kathy Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] frantically pecked out this message: I understand (from a previous post) that Bastille is a front-end for configuring iptables. Does this mean that I should only use the InteractiveBastille to configure my firewall and not use the iptables command itself to define rules? In the process of attempting to learn iptables, I saved some custom rules using service iptables save, but they were not being restored on subsequent boots. I think this is because Bastille is started right after iptables and is setting up iptables rules according to how I configured Bastille, thus wiping out my manual changes. So to change my firewall setup, should I be using Bastille's configuration methods? Do I need to drop Bastille in order to configure iptables manually, or can I use both? Thanks, Kathy -- For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. - 2 Timothy 1:7 Kathy, Bastille-firewall is a collection of config files and a script that works with iptables to form a firewall. Bastille-firewall is the actuall firewall software that uses Iptables as opposed to ipchains. InteractiveBastille, on the other hand, (which is located in /usr/sbin/InteractiveBastille) is a front end configuration tool to harden your entire system. the quickest and easiest way to configure Bastille-firewall and get it running, and this is just a basic, but fair firewall, is to use the firewall config tool found in Mandrake control center. This will perform a basic firewall configuration by asking you a few questions that you answer to tell Bastille just what you want to leave open and what you want to close. after that is finished your basic firewall is in place and operating. after this point it starts automagically everytime you boot your computer. Once you've configured and started your firewall I strongly urge that you learn Iptables, what they're all about, how they're contructed and what you can do with it. For my money Iptables is the BOMB!

Re: [newbie] Yet another question.
I am a newbie too, so I jump at the chance to answer a question the proper way to shutdown would be something like: shutdown -h now the -h passes the halt command to the shutdown scripts and is, as I have read, the cleanest way to shutdown your machine.

Hi Matt you need to issue the following command "shutdown -h now" (without the quotation marks) you can also check "man shutdown" for all available options Ingo -Original Message- From: Matthew Harrison [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: February 25, 2001 12:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Yet another question.

RE: [newbie] Yet another question.
Open a terminal window and type 'man shutdown' which should give you all the options available to you. The command line entry 'shutdown -h now' has always worked for me though like most I have occasionally had to crash out and have my hard drives checked ;o) regards Daryl -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matthew Harrison Sent: 25 February 2001 04:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Yet another question.

The "-h" stands for "halt", meaning do NOT reboot. HTH, Mike -- "Many loads of beer were brought.
