Personally, I wouldn't start with iptables. If you have either cable or DSL (with Ethernet connectivity), buy a low-end Linksys firewall or something like it. Put it between you and the cable modem. That will get the vast majority of your security attempts since by default all ports are closed. Now that you've got the initial threat out of the way, focus on everything else (like turning off all services you don't need, etc.). -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
