I just set up a server machine with Mandrake 9.0, and I'm pretty used to Mandrake by now. I actually set up this server without X. For most of the installs of Mandrake I've done in the past I simply removed the link to msec in the /etc/cron.* folders. But as I'm hoping to use this as a real server (with people accessing it other than me), there's quite a few things I know it does that I'd like to keep (and quite a lot more that I'm unaware of). I was wondering if anyone here has any experience configuring it, or has links to some good HOWTOs or other info. My specific problem now is I do a lot of remote access (ssh) and msec keeps changing the hosts.deny file to deny all access. If anyone can help with that, that would work too. Thanks a ton everyone. Chris Frederick p.s. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'd like to add that this group has helped me out a lot. This is a great community and I hope someday I can repay the knowledge and help I've received to some other future LUGites. thx all -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
