Webmin is an easy way to configure a shorewall firewall. Install webmin package, start webmin service, and then https://localhost:10000 Be sure to select 'shorewall firewall' and not just 'firewall' Configuring the /etc/shorewall files by hand is also quite easysince they contain many examples. The big problem with the Mandriva firewall GUI IMO is the fact that opening a service opens it to BOTH the local network and the internet at once. For that reason I never use the Mandriva GUI. (Although the new interactive firewall in 2006 is quite interesting http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/InteractiveFirewall ) derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
