Just out of curiosity I was taking a look at webmin last night and it has a
shorewall configuration module.  I couldn't make heads or tails of it, but
that's probably because I don't know a thing about firewalls or iptables or
whatever.  It had a lot more to play with than the drakconf tools.

Aurg!!!  You just helped me solve a problem.

/me bonks self on head.

A firewall program is the one thing that I have noticed Mandrake just can't 
make up it's mind with.  In 8, it was Bastile.  In 9, it's Shorewall.  
Hopefully when they decide, the tool will be better, cause the one for 
shorewall now just looks like they used the same one for Bastile but made it

work for Shorewall.

Maybe I need to just break down one day and learn iptables like I finally
did 
with urpmi.  Glad I did.
