I've run into a difficulty with iptables in that both GRC.com and
PCFlank.com's firewall scans show ports 137-139 and 445 as blocked but
not stealthed in spite of the fact that I have these statements in my
firewall script:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 137:138 -j DROP

When I started to setup my Linux computer to forward IP packets

so tried to update them with 'apt-get install doc-linux-text' which

I don't need xserver-xorg-video-mach64 or xserver-xorg-video-r128
to run X on my machine but xserver-xorg-video-radeon comes bundled with

Hi Filip,

I think so. At leastwhen I run 'do netstat -tlpn | grep :25', I see:

Howdy,
I hadn't rebooted since dist-upgrade last January then something
caused a lockup, no video, no keyboard such that I did a hard power off.
That was 2 days ago and since I've rebooted exim4 can't connect to
127.0.0.1:25 hence fetchmail can't transfer inbound mail.

My brother Rick, a windrider, put together a webpage,

Today they're back but I can't tell how they got there. Nothing in
