Re:rooted linux gateway

before it was an updatedb command which is scheduled by default in slackware, now it is a find? what exactly was it? (ps - there is no -nfs arg for find!) there is a -fstype nfs but that would hardly help a cracker...

i've now re-evaluated the validity of the original post - your gateway was rooted because somebody was running a p2p app *behind* your gateway!?!

if you really do have such problems i would refer you to http://www.netfilter.org/unreliable-guides/packet<nobr>-<wbr></nobr> filtering-HOWTO/index.html , but this is NOT a problem of limewire or any other p2p program. please do not blame irrelevant parties for poor administration!
