There are a number of FAQs that will be more current and probably better written (IMO). One thing that both helps and hinders is to install webmin. It helps because it provides a GUI to server configurations, IPTables and a host of other things. It hinders because you really need to learn the command line. Another thing that might help is to install system-config-control from extras. This provides a unified menu to all of the configuration programs. The daemons that you are referring to are controlled through the services configuration. -- Our DNSRBL - Eliminate Spam: http://www.TQMcube.com Multi-RBL Check: http://www.TQMcube.com/rblcheck.php Zombie Graphs: http://www.TQMcube.com/zombies.php
