We can do both. As you are working on this, do download the latest version of Shorewall and read the "Two-Interface Quick Guide." I'll help you set it up, and they'll be on the Net very soon.
I have downloaded this, but not installed yet. Soon, soon.
I mentioned that I stuffed my firewall settings a couple of days ago. I installed firestarter in the mistaken belief that it might help me understand what is going on. What happens now is that wheb I start up, the computer doesn't recognise the ppp0 interface. Yet, I have opened kppp and used evolution successfully. Now I don't want to install another firewall utility which may conflict with firestarter (even more!). So, how do I get rid of it? Or do you know of it and can help me to set it up properly? (I can imagine you tearing your hair out in despair!)
In order to be able to help you better, please provide more specific information or just copy-paste data directly from the screen. For example, please show me the output of running this command as root:
# rpm -qa | grep samba
results from this: # rpm -qa | grep samba samba-client-3.0.0-15 samba-common-3.0.0-15 samba-3.0.0-15 redhat-config-samba-1.1.4-1
Also, try this:
# up2date samba-swat
I tried this and it said I needed some public GPG (PGP?) keys. What does this mean? I did not get fedora from an official package and maybe I should not be accessing official sites for packages. What do you suggest? I notice another thread where someone uses yum and offer a yum.conf file to drop in the correct directory. Would that be more appropriate? or maybe I need to change the repository to another one now before I downlaod swat?
Up2date should be able to solve any dependencies automatically for you. Note that the default up2date servers provided by Red Hat are usually swamped and kind of slow... have you switched your up2date to a mirror server yet? If not, go ahead and run the command anyway... it'll work albeit slowly, and Alexander Dalloz wrote a quick mini-HOWTO on switching servers that will help you later.
What's the ettyket for leaving out bits? [snip]?
You're welcome to post your /etc/samba/smb.conf file (please refer to filenames with paths... it's easier for those of us not able to see your screen). I suggest you run this command (as root, indicated by the # prompt):
# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep -v ^#

All that we are doing is not that hard... you are just starting from scratch. Do not worry... we'll get you straightened out.
I really appreciate the effort that this takes, to help me.
