I downloaded the RPM which indicated it was for 8.1; will it work on 9.0
Might, but my general recommendation is don't install rpms from one distro in another. Reason: changes in libraries, files systems, etc. If you really want it, rebuild it from the source code.
or is there a later version available?
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
Hi Lucky, With regard to a later version, in my limited experiencce, I have noticed that SuSE has "cranked down" the open ports, shut down unnecessary services, etc. and in general done the things that "harden suse" did. As a result they are no longer maintainig it. Further, In my humble opinion, security includes having a security policy and a good fire wall, preferably on a box that is "separate" from the rest of your system. If you want to "harden" your system, you can go into YaST Control Center --> Security & Users --> Security Settings --> and do either custom settings or "whatever" Hope this helps, Gar -- "The quickest way to get information on the web is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong information." - Aahz' Law restated -- __________________________________________________________________ Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service.
