kristi Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I noticed in the 2005A (KDE3.4)(club release) that shorewall is activated and mail server is checked. I unchecked it, but wondered about the consequences - what have i missed (I use guarddog) and leave security at high. Kristi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The mail-server is used to send security emails every night to an email address (MCC). Configuration is pretty tight so it's not a security risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Configuration is pretty tight so it's not a security risk. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (I like your avatar!) Is that the same thing as the email I get with kmail from /var/spool/kristi every night? I guess guarddog isn't blocking it, because guarddog blocks everything unless you expressly allow it... . So I'm not understanding the function of having shorewall expressly allow it? Why bother since - oh, maybe it's just a reminder NOT to block it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
