I solved the problem , fedora ( core 6 ) has a comman called "system-config-securitylevel" i issued the this command #system-config-securitylevel ( entre ) you will get the following screen. choose -------> customise then choose www ( https) service save anf restart IPtables or even editing iptables manually would work : iptables -A INPUT –p TCP --dport 80 --syn -m limit --limit 5/second -j ACCEPT -- Warm Regards Agnello .
