I love my source of information -- Iptables logging feature.  I'm still=20
learning about but sure beats saying "I donno" to the boss.

It has brought a question i can't answer.  I guess I don't really underst=

seem=20
to be somewhat random and very definately incremental.

Is there a good FAQ somewhere that I missed?
