I also find it useful to create different chains for different network traffic. For example, I have a chain that allows all web access - ports 80, 443, 8080 etc. I have a different chain for file-share access - e.g. NFS and Samba. This way, I can watch what is happening with those chains specifically, without wading through the significant output of the command "iptables -nvL". By using different chains, I can issue a command like "watch -d iptables -nvL CentOS-MAIL" to monitor network traffic on related ports. This has helped me many times in the past to see where network traffic is being blocked or given access.

A good time to talk about a policy who's allowed to make these changes ;-) You might also use Webmin for such tasks done by "co-workers" and allow only internal IP access. That would have also prevented wrong entries.

Indeed; there is a TTL parameter. If you want the changes to be propagated 'fast', you set the TTL to a low duration. But DNS caches can bypass it if they choose to...

I don't of a website, but you can use checkinstall which will do the job on one of your own machines. Be aware that the lastest versions have a bug which makes you jump through a couple extra hoops... but it is the only tool to do that, to my knowledge. -geoff - Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Warning: duplicate alias name testme /etc/aliases: 80 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 812 bytes total I think the second entry will get the mail; aliases are stored as db or dbm files, and so only have one value per key.
