Hi all, I am playing with a standalone Red Hat 7.3 box with a dialup and having read several worthy tomes on security I tried to configure the TCP wrappers and use Ipchains. A couple of questions.. 1. I put the Ipchains commands in the etc/rc.d/rc.local file. After logging off and back on, when I checked with IPCHAINS -C the listing did not show my changes. 2. When I installed 7.3, Anaconda let me select the firewall setting. There does not seem to be a system app. to change it (this is mute as am flushing the Ipchains settings as above but am puzzled). 3. I noticed that in the hosts.deny file a shell command can be forced after a violation say: ALL : ALL /bin/echo "blah blah" So if my Ipchains has a gap in and someone port scans me, if I want an alert to pop up and tell me is there something like: ALL : ALL /bin/alert .. that I can use? 4. Where oh where can I disable that really annoying warning that I have logged in as root? Many thanks, Chris Burkinshaw, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
