I found the ipfwadm tool did exactly what I needed, and the installation was as easy as they get. &nbsp;Danial Bourgin runs an Update-linux script at <a href="ftp://ftp.wsc.com" rel="ugc">ftp.wsc.com</a>&nbsp;(you'll have to hunt for the subdir, but the strings 'pub' and 'update_linux' are in there). &nbsp;The installation of the ipfwadm package - and dissecting the config that was in place as part of the install - was really easy. &nbsp;Haven't tried MGRCNK's idea, but this worked for me very well.<br />
<br />
Hint - I shut nearly all ports but 110 and 25. &nbsp;Let me know if I can expand on this idea.<br />

How can I give users only email access (pop) when they<br />
are connected over ppp, I mean, they have to see only<br />
the pop and sendmail and not be able to do anything else,<br />
(www, ftp, etc).<br />

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
