I can't answer that. It depends on what *you* need. Ask yourself a few simple questions: - do I need a proxy server? If so, install squid - do I need a web server? If so, install apache - do I need a FTP server? If so, install proftpd - do I need remote shell access? If so, install openssh-server - do I need a mail server? If so, install postfix/qmail/exim The question was what do you want to install on SNF. Since SNF is meant to be router/proxy server, it should really only have httpd-naat for the web interface (don't need a full-blown apache), squid for proxy services, and openssh-server for maintenance. You don't need (nor should you install) a web server, FTP server, mail server, etc. on SNF. That compromises the integrity of the system and, really, negates the usefulness of SNF as a firewall/router. If you want a web server, install one on a different machine and have the SNF box forward port connections to it; don't run apache on the SNF box itself. Likewise for FTP, SMTP, POP3/IMAP, etc. -- vdanen (at) mandrakesoft.com, OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 8 days 21 hours 32 minutes.
