Re: RH8.0 - Altering Security Level

["Ashley Kitson" <akitson bbcb co uk>]

Matthew

etc/xinetd.d/swat is configured as

#chkconfig: 35 20 80
#description: SWAT

service swat
{
    disable = no
    port = 901
    socket_type = stream
    wait = no
    only_from = localhost
    user = root
    log_on_failure += USERID
)

I have run chkconfig (and added the swat lines above as result and still no
joy
:-(

As to firewall tools, any suggestions for a reasonably straightforward
'starter pack'?

Kind Regards
Mr Ashley Kitson
