Well, these are all words that I wish I knew, but I don't. I'm slowly learning though. I am running apache, and the admin has opened port 80, so my web pages are viewable off site. Also, from other computers that are also behind the firewall, I can hit my box. So, I assume if the right port was open, I would be able to ssh into my box from off site. Any explainations would be appreciated. thanks, blake _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
