Thanx for everybody for the answers regarding the hosts.allow and hosts.deny
files... I got them rectified...
However, I have one more simple (?) question in regards to users privledges.
As per the instructions during installation I create a different or new user
other than root. However, I've been using root all this time for my
configuration and learning of this system. I've been told time and time
again that I shouldn't be using the root, so I went into linuxconf to change
the permissions of the one user I did create. I wanted to give that user
SuperUser access, the ability to run linuxconf, and view the system logs.
However, after setting these options, and loggin in as that user, I'm still
restricted. I cannot run linuxconf, nor can I peruse the /var/log
directory. I've gone back into linuxconf as root and the changes I made for
that user still exist as I set them, but none of them are in effect.
I even made the user of the root group to no avail... could somebody help
me out either by telling me what I'm missing, or at least direct me in the
correct direction for solving this little mystery?
thanx
