Hi Scott,

I will try this one for sure !
But ofcourse I need to ask ONE stupid question at least !! <GRIN>

The script you pasted in your mail should be installed in /etc/rc.d
is there a perference for a name ?? Or can I just call the file whatever I
want ?

And when I understand correctly the file rc.firewall.blocked should be an
empty file. Chmodded to ?? 700 ??

thanks for your patience !
