try telling msec to set your security as medium,, that should give you back access.
if you want a real easy firewall that makes you totally invisable on the net (as much as possible anyway) download and install gShield, its really easy, REALLY configurable and has one really commented conf file that does everything. fantastic product.. the only thing I wish it had is: support for multiple IP address aliases (I have 7 other IP's in ppp0 that I have domains hanging off) but thats not too hard to do. Other then that it can do dynamic IP's, port forwarding, (really easily too) can be set to drop reject, forward etc as default, I have drop set as default, which gives "stealth" status when tested with a port scanner. I would love to see mandrake make gShield a rpm for install, its much better then Bastille or interactivebastille for flexability. good luck,, rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of skidley Sent: Sunday, 16 December 2001 12:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] ifup ppp0 I just made some kind of big mistake. I went through InteractiveBastille and in process somehow I lost the ability to use /sbin/ifup ppp0. I got rid of the bastille(uninstalled it) as I regret ever touching it. KPPP works fine. I went though dev/ppp, modem, ttyS1 and /sbin/ifup ifdown and made them all root.pppusers and added myself to pppusers. I may have screwed up the permissions somewhere i don't know. But why would kppp be able to use the damn modem just fine and when i try ifup which has worked just fine for me as a user and as root all along all that happens is i get ppp script failed. The dtr light on my modem(external serial) lights up for a sec and then stops. I am ready to pull out an axe a split my box in half. I hate using kppp because I dont always want to have X running just to connect to internet. I could use wvdial i guess but I could never get that to work as user either. ifup ppp0 worked fine and I would rather use it. Can someone maybe tell me what the perms on all devices related to ppp are. I cant see it being the config stuff about my isp cause i havent changed any of that and it worked fine until now. I need help b4 i get out the axe and kill this damn thing. -- . --- |o_o | |:_/ | Give Micro$oft the Bird!!!! // \ \ Use Linux!!!!
