Greetings. I have been using e-smith for awhile now and love it. Heres my question. The cablemodem service provider I use does not allow one to run any services except ftp for personal use. I would like HTTPd to continue running for administration purposes internally but not externally. Is this possible or is my best bet going to be sending my provider an email explaining and putting up a blank page?
Thanks
Tim

I would suggest (through httpd.conf) to setup Apache in a way to only listen on your internal IP address (probably 192.168.0.1)
So nobody from the outside would get a response if they tried to access your server.
It's the Listen directive.
Hope this helps,
