well, a reboot, changing runlevels or at least a "telinit q" is |
| 22 |
necessary to make init aware of the changed inittab. I didn't mention |
| 23 |
this before... |

OK, then it worked. But please note that the "s0" is the name of the |
| 31 |
inittab entry (read "man inittab") and doesn't per se specificate a |
| 32 |
device. That's done in another place and the correct device name is |
| 33 |
ttyS0 (capital "S"). The line could have a totally different name. |
| 34 |
|

Anyway, the inittab issue seems to be gone for you, that was just a |
| 36 |
clarification. All that seem to be left is your firewall problem |
| 37 |
(doesn't seem to be embedded-specific, so you might want to ask on |
| 38 |
-security or -user). |

Sorry, I can't help here as I'm not using any firewall builders. But |
| 45 |
you should disable lines that e.g. specify that only certain |
| 46 |
applications are allowed to access the net (that would probably be |
| 47 |
command matching). |

As a side note: You *did* compile full netfilter support into your |
| 50 |
kernel, didn't you? |
