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? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of daRcmaTTeR Sent: Wednesday, 30 January 2002 11:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] What firewall to use in MDK 8.1 On Tue, 29 Jan 2002 12:12:48 -0500 "Ronald J.
