ya used it b4 only i didn�t have any iptables rules made up & from the interface off Mandrake control centre I wasn�t sure if it was stopping access from other ports or not.
only had web, mail & ftp checked. see i think i�m totally lost! site i visited for the iptable script was http://linux-firewall-tools.com/firewall/index.html the result was a re-made script based on answers to questions. now i want to set it up. got as far as coping the script toetc/rc.d/firewall and saved it as rc.firewall.sh but the info talked about a pump-User. I only have 1 pc and i use this for internet access and non internet work. any guideance appreciated. what about guarddog i think (seen some references to it in a site called www.linuxguruz.com) regards, dave.
