believe it or not, Desktop/LX does include a fully-functional firewall. we just haven't created a nice gui interface for it yet. if you want to use it, as root edit the /etc/sysconfig/daemons/firewall script.
normally it contains: IDENT=firewall DESCRIPTIVE="Load firewall rules" ONBOOT=no # Set this to the name of your internal interface(s), # if you have any. All interfaces other than lo and # $INTERNAL_INTERFACE are considered external (and # hence untrusted). INTERNAL_INTERFACE="eth0" # Set this to the base name of the firewall script you # want to use. There are the following canned scripts: # paranoid # cautious # relaxed # none LEVEL=none change the ONBOOT to yes and then LEVEL to either paranoid, cautious, or relaxed. then save the file and start the firewall service from the desktop/lx control panel. you can check firewall rules with the iptables -L command. we will have a nice gui wrapper for it soon. if your external interface isn't eth0, you will need to edit the INTERNAL_INTERFACE line as well. thanks! joe -- Joseph Cheek, CTO and Founder, Lycoris Redmond Linux Corp. is now Lycoris!
