Derryck, I don't know what exactly you would need a firewall for if you are hosting an FTP server on Mac OS 9. A firewall is made to keep unwanted traffic from coming into your network. Unless you are running some type of internal services such as a private web site, private ftp server, or some kind of file sharing, there would be no reason to need a firewall. The benefit of a firewall is to prevent attacks on your computer by not allowing any traffic in the first place. Afaik(somebody correct me if I'm wrong), there is not really anything in Mac OS 9 that can be easily exploited. Just make sure you don't have unneeded 'services' enabled. jess -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
