First, a *big thanks* to the developers of this wonderful software. I am
a Linux & LEAF newbie, so please respond accordingly :-)

I am running Dachstein-CD 1.0.2 on an old headless P133/32MB box as a
dedicated firewall/router for my home network. I use Putty & WinSCP over
SSH for internal remote admin. I am backing up changes to floppy as per
the install docs. It all appears to be running fine, but I have 2
questions:

1) Can someone please explain how the logs work, or point me to doc
source? My Weblet log shows messages 0-3; why 0-3? Can these be backed
up? The log was showing 2,300+ denied/rejected entries over 5 days
uptime, but it has suddenly reset itself to today's entries only (50+).
Is this a RAMdisk issue or some config limit being reached, or what? I
just can't seem to get a handle on how the logs work at all, nor could I
find any docs?

2) Neither could I find any docs on how to open a port to (say) join a
peer-to-peer file sharing service and how to then back up any such
changes made. Is this a question of my reading a generic IP Chains
How-to or is there more to it? I am not about to punch holes in the
firewall until I get a clue about the whole issue, but would like to
know how to approach this?

Best regds,
Bob Osola
