whats to install??? you get the tarball, uncompress it so that you have the directory somewhere,
then you move the whole directory and make it /etc/firewall, then you add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/ppp/ip-up.local (depends what your internet connection is, the former would work for an always on cable or adsl, and the later for a dialup box.) Thats it, then all you have to do is edit the one conf file /etc/firewall/gShield.conf set your default policy in the conf,,, (the default is RESET, I changed that to DROP) (its all commented, so if you can read, you can configure it, and in most cases, you will only need to change 5 lines or less for your setup.) And you are done.. (the main part of the conf you have to do is the STATIC="NO" setting, which tells the script that its a dynamic IP address.) Thats not that hard is it? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Muller Sent: Wednesday, 6 February 2002 11:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Setting Up Bastille I greatly appreciate the advice received on Bastille.

I tried this, but was answered by "command not found" Does anyone know why? Regards, Chuck
