I have Mandrake 10 installed on my PC. I was wondering would Bastille in any way interfere or disrupt what msec does?

I use Bastille on mandy 9.2 and I have never noticed any conflicts with msec or problems of any sort.

MunterMan:

Did you run the script to apply the changes or just install the rpm ? When I installed the rpm and tried to run it I got:

[root@localhost downloads]# bastille

I don't see 9.2 in that list anywhere, you should have gotten the same error.

Bastille came as a specially built rpm with 9.2

Have you got perl-curses or perl-tk installed on your machine?
If that does not work, this work around may do the trick.

Change the contents of file /etc/mandrake-release to

Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586

This is a bodge (not a good thing) that I got off the red hat site. Give it a try, you can change it back once it is installed.
