FYI, iptables -F clears iptable rules, but not default policies. So if the default policy for the INPUT chain is DROP (which is how I build iptables INPUT chains) and you flush the rules, remote access of any kind is gone. Lucky I was 5 feet away from the server when I found this one out :) iptables -L -n This will let you look at all the current default policies and rules without changing anything. \__ Jason Munro \__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__ http://hastymail.sourceforge.net/
