I'm not particularly worried; it was he who insisted on staying with SCO, despite my clear illustration that it wasn't effective, and it was only when his investors noted the cost of SCO licenses versus Linux licenses and support and how that affected *their* bottom line that he switched... Personally I'm a SuSE man for production Linux (good service contract support in a robust distro), though I like OpenBSD for secure servers and I've heard good things about Debian but haven't tried it again in the past few years (that free time thing). But I'm obviously just the dumb programmer ;-) %=20 % > generally poked and prodded everywhere I can, I've come up with many "y= ou % > need to turn on NAT" but no pointers to how to do so! %=20 % Go to the netfilter webpage.
