Hi!

Please do not double post as hamish suggested. It turns the forum into a big mess. The rules are clear:

Your other thread is found here:

Regards!

P.S: try using the search button. This question is very popular

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

I'm closing this thread, as you have answers in the thread in Linux-Security forum: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=298655
