If you don't need a firewall then you should disable it. FD4 default rules blocks everything unless you specifically allow it. To modify the firewall you could use system-config-security (I think it is)...let me turn on my FD4 box...da-dee-dum-dee-dum...booting...la-de-dah...takes so long to boot this OS...go get a coffee... Ah, here it is, "system-config-securitylevel". It works in both X and terminal session (command line). You can customize it to allow the different ports, I forget off hand what nmb and smb are on. Or disable it all together. Make sure to read the help and stuff on the screen. :) In X it's in a really stupid place, under "Desktop" menu -> System Settings -> Security Level. I don't know who's silly idea it was to put system settings (like firewall settings) under a menu called Desktop. It's a wonder anyone can navigate this POS OS that installs way too much gunk even when you install basic mode. =P Enjoy. -- Scott - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
