After installing slack10 on a server, few basic questions
 

I installed slackware and now some things bother me:

1) The box I installed slack10 lately, routes net to other machines and it has two network cards. Both LAN. The slack installation detected only 1 (same with doing netconfig later), and I have to configure the other one's IP address and similar. I have forgotten how to do that, preferably, slackware to do it all at boot. Would those be some ifconfig commands in rc.local? And which ones... I did man ifconfig and ifconfig --help but didnt come with clear example. And yes, slackware detects both of the cards.

2) Thats not really connected to slackware, but why is that:
The HDD is 200GB and not only it sais 184, but some others are lost, if we add used+available (35+140). No space is reserved for any user.

3) Can someone there reccomend a good firewall script for cable modem (and not only, as long as its good). Thanks for all positive responses. :)

This thread discusses the discrepancies in adding up disk space.

Look at /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file. You can do your second (and first or any other) nic configurations there.

3) Try gShield

3) guarddog is an easy to use firewall
