while on the topic of Bastille, are there any documentation that i can read on before plunging on to the configuration of Bastille? i have been to the page and i have not found any manual, in any form, which can provide some information on what to expect before configuring the firewall. gshield may be good but since i am trying install MandrakeSNF, there are no GUIs. i dont know if the distro includes the libraries needed to run gShield.
thanks!
