"Mandrake 9.1 at the highest setting leaves all ports visible, and two ports open. None are stealth. This is unacceptable. I would like to know if this non stealth firewall setting persists in 9.2."
Hmmm..., maybe not a too severe security threat, but interesting nevertheless as Mandrake has often advertised that they pay special attention to security.
Generally speaking, at these times of ever increasing security threats it would be nice if reviewers of operating systems/Linux distros would start to pay more attention to security level & settings too. Maybe ultra security is not needed on a normal desktop/work station - but why give crackers a helping hand if you could alternatively & easily have a much more secure system too?
