How do you mean? What has my firewall to do with file permissions? Whit 
my backup I mean: What my users stored on my server. I did a normal 
Installation as i've done before. After the reinstall before this one
The firewall was running well, with the same way of making a backup

At the moment I want to load the firewall, everything what has to do with
networking freezes. Then I have to reboot the server and then it's working
Fine, but when I do a portscan at my ip-address there are more open ports
Than I like...

Wat hebben iptables regels te maken met bestandsrechten? Dit is niet de 
eerste reïnstallatie, en na de installatie voor deze deed precies dezelfde
firewall het wel goed. Met de backup bedoel ik: alles uit 
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs

Op het moment dat ik de firewall wil inladen hangt alles wat met het 
netwerk van doen heeft, ik moet dan de server opnieuw starten en dan doet
alles het wel weer. Doe ik dan een portscan dan staan er veel meer poorten
open dan de bedoeling is.

HTH,
