When I ran may install I never use the standard security settings since 
Mandrake leaves too much open for the world to see. I am testing this 
distro for the Installfest.... Have you thought about running a security 
audit on your system? I ran one on NMAP my router and found open 
ports....that needed to be closed.... Just some thoughts.
