Try looking at Mandrake Secure http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/ There is also lots of info in the manuals http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/doc/90/en/Server_Conf_Guide.html/server-theory.html To see the differences between the levels just look in the 'Network and System Options' Tabs. As you change the security level, the default settings for each of the individual tests change. You can of course use these Tabs to customise your security level. You will almost certainly regret setting security any higher than 'standard or higher' . (It will be so secure, you will be unable to do apparently innocent activities) derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
