Well I think I have the system pretty much where I need it for now. I have the firewall only allowing FTP and HTTP on the outside address and both servers appear to be working fine. Also have VNC working on the inside interface.
I do have a question. I setup a couple of users for the purpose of FTPing. Each has files it its /home directory. On my Mandrake system it was more server like and a user had to login then startx if they wanted the GUI. Ubuntu is starting in X and I see all the users I setup. I would just as soon not see them on the GUI startup/login screen. Is t here a way to hide these extra users?
