they mean "faceless" of course. no video/monitor driven from the machine. instead, you can use the serial port if you know the voodoo required. headless would be a monitor, keyboard and mouse, with no cpu box. :) -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #124 from dman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : So you've decided to BLOCK ALL TRAFFIC EXCEPT SSH. What you need to do is specify the port to allow. ssh uses port 22 by default -- With iptables try: iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport ssh -j ACCEPT This says that in the input chain, for tcp packets, if the port number matches ssh in /etc/services then accept the packet regardless of IP addresses. (This should give you a pointer towards the necessary ipchains options if you don't have iptables available.)
