Speakup friends, I decided to try out Bastille. Its quite good and seems to be really indepth and if you want to learn a bit on firewalling while setting it up, its the poop as far as I can tell. Ok, well it would be if I could get it configured. I'm having some problems with the perl scripts. I can't captured the errors its generating in the scripts cause they just scroll off the screen. Is there a way to capture these? The error log it generates isn't giving me any useful data. I suspect there is something being called in the script I just don't have installed, but I don't know what. I ran it on another Debian box that has lots of stuff installed, but I was trying to keep things minimized on the intended firewall box. I assume correctly or incorrectly, that apt-get would have gotten all the dependancies covered, but obviously not. Any thoughts welcome cause I'm going nuts. I'm there you know, near the final steps of getting the thing configured and it craps out. DAMN!!!! tia Scott
