chose, but ipportfw almost seems like a
requirement in that case (versus plain old IP forwarding), else how do
the external machines reach the 'hidden' one? I think part of my
problem may be how the 'hidden' machine's configured (default router,
domain, etc.), but the HOWTO didn't really cover that. . . .
Thanks in advance!!!

Hiya,
I'm setting up a machine to act as a firewall or router or something
(not sure what the exact term is -- basically, to allow only certain
Internet IPs to get to a machine that will be behind this
firewall-or-whatever). As such, I was planning on two NICs and having
a Debian system that does

Um, I'm assuming you're using Debian, since you're asking in

Hi All,
I'm having weird problems with EMACS. I just installed Debian 1.2
(rex-fixed, actually, so that would be 1.2.15 at the time I snarfed
it, methinks) -- a clean install, onto a fresh HD. As I recall, EMACS
required some X library or other (I don't have X on my system), which
seemed odd to

Hiya All,
I'm new to Debian -- just installed -- and am trying to get things set

Slackware, and I got the impression it was 'better' than the default
