There was an outage this morning at shorewall.net -- I attempted to install the latest 2.6.7 Debian kernel on my firewall and foolishly let the install process update my lilo.conf. That left me with *no* bootable kernel that was compatible with /sbin/iptables and the boot process hung at "shorewall start" no matter which kernel I tried to boot :-((( Took me a while to figure out how to use a Mandrake install CD as a rescue disk for a Debian box :) -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
