I wanted to set up a firewall, as running bare bothers me and the logs were showing enough attempts to make it worthwhile, especially for FTP. I found that I couldn't use any iptables modules, state, tcp, udp, or recent, which made for a rather useless firewall. I think that those modules and others could reasonably be preloaded or built into the kernel and so made available to all the clients, but I don't know if any hosting company does it. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
