Argh. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. RH7.0 had a number of problems, and while they've since been fixed, they can certainly catch someone who's just done an install unawares. DEFINITELY spend some time tightening up ANY system before it goes onto the Internet, especially if it's going to be unattended for long periods. > [...] Read up and > make sure that portmap server is turned off along with as many other servers > as you can manage.

Hate to see you go to that length. Are those Sig11 errors by any chance? Any details on the hardware? Hate to see anything hit the dumpster. Hope you get it all working again. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
