  1. I use exchangeable caddys. I currently have 4 HDs, one per caddy. On some I have a single installation, on others ( >20GB) I install 2 Distros. So I can have several versions of Mandriva ( 2005 & 2006 at present ), Fedora 4, Suse 10 plus anything else I choose. I am trying to settle on 1 distro (looks like being Mandriva) and will than have several installations. One proper one, one for messing about with, one for development etc. I find this works well. Obviously I could also have one HD for Windows & a version of Linux. In practice I use a different PC for XP. But that is only because things have worked out that way. I really like the caddy system as I can protect working installations whilst messing around with something new, e.g. Ubuntu, Red Hat, Knoppix.... Hope this is of interest.
  2. Many thanks for the advice. I'm pleased to report that Lisa didn't return on a reboot. I feel much happier now and have learn't a thing or two in the process. Bye for now & many thanks
  3. ianw1974: Done as you suggested. Lisa now off and gone from the System load graphs. Used the second version to stop it rather than kill it off with urpme. Below listed output from chkconfig --list. You are most kind; thanks Speedtouch is my modem Shorewall is what I believe to be the firewall, standard with Mandriva 2006 I guess alsa and sound are there because I'm listening to a CD at the same time. acpi 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off acpid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cups 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off freshclam 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off harddrake 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off keytable 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off kheader 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off lisa 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off mDNSResponder 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off mandi 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off messagebus 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netplugd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off nifd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off numlock 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off oki4daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off partmon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rawdevices 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off shorewall 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off speedtouch 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xinetd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xinetd based services: cups-lpd: off rsync: off
  4. ianw1974: Thanks, I'm on the case.
  5. coverup: Thanks for your latest info. I came to the conclusion that I couldn't/shouldn't use any of the files on that site as they are all Debian versions. So I went to my Update mirror service to see if there were any security issues with Lisa, couldn't find anything on the Mandriva sites. When you say .."Edit: Mandrake/Mandriva enables LISa during installation"..." are you saying that I need to reinstall my entire system? or that I could edit some file which would affect bootup? I've searched out the port refs that I noted and they are as follows:- 7741 is Lisa . ipp is 631/tcp or 631/udp internet printing protocol. X11 is 6000-6063/udp X windows system. 5335 unassigned but noted as local host on my system. Sorry to be a pain but, how do I close a port? Thanks Thanks
  6. ianw1974: Many thanks for the reference...went over straight away. Very interesting. Whilst I was there would you believe it, the firewall reported a port scanning attack. I've blacklisted it.
  7. Thank you for these replies. daniewicz: I'm using the standard firewall as supplied with Mandriva 2006 and have configured it from the ..Configure Your Computer System...off the pop up LHS menu system (supplying root pswd as requested). I'm using a USB modem, Thompson Speedtouch 330 over a broadband connection. Where do you find a list of port useage?, I'm in the dark here and am amazed that you know what all the numbers are for. coverup: WWW ref. I've printed off the notes and will see if I can follow the advice. I was suprised to find that I ended up on a page giving support for Lisa in Suse. Does Mandriva use the same system as this? Will report again later whan I have acted on the above.
  8. Please forgive my ignorance but I am new to Linux, Mandriva and especially the forum. I have read some of the security messages and came to realise that instead of having my Firewall on, as I thought was the default, it was turned off ! ah!!. So thanks for that as I changed the settings immediately. However, I have also run KDE System Guard which I found under Monitoring. When I display a graph called Network/Sockets/raw/Table I can see at least 4 ports/lines all the time. They are identified as ports 7741, ipp, X11 and local host 5353. Is this normal and if not what should I do to correct this situation? I'm running Mandriva 2006 (free edition) on an AMD K6 400 Mz, 512Mb ram with exchangeable caddy hard drives. Many thanks for your time. [moved from Software by spinynorman]
