Sean Akers@ROMAX 23/10/2000 14:07 Go to www.pmfirewall.com and download PM Firewall. It is a shell script which asks questions about how you want firewalling/masquerading set up and generates all the appropriate ipchains stuff for you. It can even be set to start up automatically. It's very good. I've been using it on my SuSE 6.4 setup for a few months now with no problems. Hope this helps.

Could we not send all the text on screen with a command like ? >> all_screen_text.txt Now I am happy to test this out, but what is the '?' command, and what is the "Autoexec.bat" file equivalent in Linux, to insert the line.

Greg, /etc/services is just a list of ports associated with services. If one wants to close the ports then you would have to comment out the line associated with them in the inetd.conf file and restart inetd. This is basic Unix/Linux thing .. it works this way on my Solaris (sparc) box, SuSE Linux box and my freeBSD box.. It's inetd that controls these things..not /etc/services.

Because ISP guys told me that it is not supported. And we have to buy MS server with proxy and exchange and with 200 clients. That is a lot of $... and a lot of problems. Thanks. Audrius Verseckas

Automatic update of already installed packages

Uiterlinden" <puiterl(a)hacom.nl> Subject: Automatic update of already installed packages My system is SuSE 6.4 and I want to apply all the updates available in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/. I've already copied this whole tree to my hard disk. The problem is that I only want updates of already installed packages. If I would do something like: rpm -Uhv $(find <my_dir> -type f -name '*.rpm') then *all* packages would be installed, in stead of updating only already installed packages. Neither YaST nor rpm seems to provide the functionality I'm looking for. Am I overlooking the obvious, or what? Paul.

For those of us with a k6-II 400Mhz, w/ 64MB of RAM may want to avoid pronto. I admit thatfeaturewise, stability, and threading ability pronto is hard to beat. But Bynari's Tradeclient runs a close second and uses 1/3 the RAM of Pronto. Sylpheed would probably be my fav. if it could multi-thread. Auther claims it can, but it locks up while sending or recieving. Don't worry, it unlocks after. _________________________________ -- ____________ sent on Linux ____________ 100% Virus Free!
