RHEL/SL and iptables

2011-04-16 Thread Nicolas Kovacs
Hi, Until recently, I've only been using the system-config-securitylevel-tui utility, because it's easy to use while covering all my needs. Now I have to switch to a manual iptables configuration, because 1) the system-config-securitylevel-tui utility has been "dumbed" down, and 2) some of t

RHEL 5.6 vs. SL 5 ?

2011-04-14 Thread Nicolas Kovacs
Hi, I just took a peek at the download page for SL 5, and I only see 5.5. Does SL 5.6 exist somewhere, or has it never be released? If that's the case, is it simply a matter of install medium, e. g. are the updates for 5.5 (after a 'yum update') equal to a 5.6 install? I'd like to ask specifi

2011-04-13 Thread Nicolas Kovacs
Hi, I've been a CentOS user for a few years, and I just decided to switch to SL. I installed it on two of my sandbox PCs in my office. First reaction : I like it a lot! I expect a few things to be different than CentOS, and maybe the odd rough edge here and there. First things first. Does
