ditch bastille, and go with something like gShield..

I used pmfirewall with 7.2 and ipchains because there was nothing else with
such a logical layout and rules list..

the same is true in a different way with gShield.. it has one simple conf
file that just asks you questions,

and a bunch of other files that can be used for opening specific ports or
port forwarding and blacklists and the like..

nice simple and logical.

gotta love that right?

thanks, but that didn't seem to make any difference. for what ever reason
        iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport -i ppp0 -j DROP
doesn't make any difference. port 139 remains open to the outer interface.
