I have no understanding of what a packetfilter firewall actually does, and therefore I won't install one. On the other hand, it's easy (for me) to understand how hosts.deny works. Furthermore, AFAIK iptables isn't a dependency, but rather a configuration option when compiling the kernel - then it is *not* a dependency like any other. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.
