Okay got an address and was able to configure an iptables script.
On the website it had a reference to the installation process and in this it
talks about a �pump Users" process, this is for Red Hat 6.0+.
What is Mandrake 9.1�s equivalant ???
below is an extract from the file...
pump Users (Red Hat 6.0+)
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup and add the following line after pump
successfully completes:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/pump-done.
the actual setting up/Configuring of a firewall like the default that is
available with MD 9.1 is another issue i�d like help with or a reference to a
website for help.
cheers,
Dave.
