Hey there, Im not sure if I should be asking this question here, but I figured since ipchains is for changing the kernels packet policies I may as well. And also I cant get a good answer from anybody else. Basicly I have a router / firewall conifuration for my lan. What I want to do is when running a server, I want it so when somebody nmap's me, or whatever, it doesnt even show up on nmaps output, but yet still having the server perfectly runnable. Is this even possible? Thanks -Dan Erickson- -ColdOneknight@rogers.com- -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
