sorry about the late reply... yeap i got the command all figured out... :) thanks!

This may not be the perfect solution >>> you must have set the security settings to paranoid. :P there is a configuration utility called the mandrake control center which you can get at by clicking the K start button -> configuration -> configure your computer it runs as root and you'll be able to see the services running and whether you would like to run them on boot and all the other stuff including security levels ... you can lower them to high/normal :D cheers!

so i have all this stuff running >> i know that the webserver is on port 80, but what are all the rest! tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32768 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:997 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -

how would one disable the linux 1 bypass???

for me it's /etc/ssh/sshd_config :P ... i know how to port forward to an ip but how would i portward? :unsure:

what's APF and BFD? There has been some kind of script out since late July that does the SSH scanning liike that. Changing the SSH port seems to take care of the problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> arg i have the same problem should have read this thread first :P anyways, so i have a nice fat list of hosts and ips who were trying to root login ... anyone have any experience in reporting abuse? (I was looking throught the var/logs/messages file and this one fellow tried a bunch of usernames too don't think it's a virus :unsure:

here's a nice little faq :D http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=19256

thats a good tip... that's how i have it setup .. .a 40GB hd with crapdows and mandrake 9.2 and 120 gig drive thats FAT32 to store all my data :D this way if i need more space for linux then i can easily format one of the partitions on the second drive as ext2 or something... but for now i'm good as it's better securitywise... i mainly use linux and some partitions i just don't mount ;) hehehe

yeah that's an option ... but i don't want to delete any files that i've named with a ~ :P i work off a FAT32 partition that I share with windows ... so i have a bunch of those files that i need to get rid off :D PS: i use kwrite the most :P ... i'll look around in the options of that! :D

hey guys is there some sort of a utility that will clean out the backup files created by the editors... i hate having to deleting the ~files ... any help appreciated :P :D

lol i think sarah is in the wrong forum ... lmao!!! anyways back to topic : how do we create a lilo boot disk?

hey guys ... i did it through the MCC ... worked like a charm :D

yo yo mcc is the shiznit!!! lol thanks a lot man!!!

lol thanks :D ... now i need to set up my webserver!

yep it's working ... i ssh'ed to the university server and then ssh'ed from the server back on to my pc ... lol ssh is amazing ... just hope that noone's sniffing my packets :-S
