G'day All,
thank you so much for all the phone calls and advice.
Hell, I didn't realise that some of you just about 'live' at work!

So, E Smith 5.1.2 is up and running smoothly.

The old 4.1.2 has been installed into another box which I will bring to Humbug
on Saturday.

If any one wants to have a poke around in it for strange things - feel free.
When you have finished with it I will use that system to experiment with other
router/firewall/server programmes, at Humbug.

Another thing learned - that I am happy to pass on.
While it was not easy to boot to single user mode with the ESmith boot disk [but
perhaps I missed something], if you use a RH 7.1 boot disk and cd you can,
indeed, get in as single user - and change the forgotten password, just as RK
says you could. 
Strangely the programme, which is actually based on RH 7.0, does not accept the
boot floppy and cd of RH 7.0!!

We ran a Stealth test and the system seemed pretty tight.
port 443 https, port 25 smpt, port 113 ident and port 5000 upnp were either open
or 'not sealed'?
But I guess there has to be some open ports for the info to get into here.
Does this all sound normal?

I want to stay with E Smith, if for no other reason than that I am only just
beginning to understand how the programme works!
And some of you know what a slowwwww learner I am!
