An intriguing little package, is it not? Just installed it. Now ... It gives you one example for ssh (which is also quite useful) but I do not understand those 7000,8000,90000 numerical sequences nor how I would simply call a set [...SMTP] for port 25 and what to change. The only thing sort of clear are the iptables commands being executed. Also, if I am enabling a "periodic/sporadic" email server on my box, who is the knocker? I am "opening" the port to receive email. I do not need to do this to send. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
