Hello all, My rebuild over the weekend went fine and I now have just 143 packages. I'm sure if I was a bit braver with dselect I could reduce that further but won't worry too much for now. I will start thinking about the rules to give the FW and things to comment out of inetd(right name?) now.
When I installed the packages I answered yes to the question about ipmasq recalculating the firewall rules when a connection is made or dropped. Did I make the right decision and what does this mean? I haven't made a connection with the rebuilt machine yet but it's last incarnation would only allow me to make a connection with pon as root. I thought this was a permissions problem but the latest issue of Linux Format talks about a similar problem and suggests a module/package (can't remember which) called ppp.0. I can't find this though! Any ideas what the problem is? If you need details of permissions send a list of files and I will email them later. TIA Mike
