Ive managed to block port 6000 (used for X11) as I do not need this.

I cannot block 631 though, ive looked at the firewall script and that did not help much i.e. no sign of port 631.

Any ideas please?

Are there any programs i can use?

And second question is when I boot up I get this message:

This is after using:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz rw root=/dev/sda3
boot

Any ideas on this too - not too sure about the rdev command?

Cheers
