Is this a known bug (I don't see > anything about it at bastille-linux.org)? InteractiveBastille is not a tool to "close" (block) port access. It is a tool used to enable Bastille to harden your system. It not only helps build a firewall, but also setup your system in a more secure manner. It is a system wide security configuration tool. If you want to close certain ports comment them out in the file /etc/services. However! a word of caution here. Don't get carried away with closing ports because if you're not familiar with doing this and you close the wrong ports BAD things will happen. If you want to get bastille-firewall running, in Mandrake Control Center there is a firewall config utility that gets the process started. It's called Tiny Firewall. run this wizard and it will configure and start Bastille-firewall running. I'd then suggest getting to know the in's and out's of iptables and manually tweak the chains and ruleset to suit your machine's unique needs. if you need any further assistance just give a holler. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
