intranet Movable Type web server using KNOPPIX

[rman666]

i've got Knoppix running off a laptop HDD; seems to work fine. I can access the 'net, run apache, and see it from another machine on the net (the webserver, that is).

now, i want to secure it so no one can see it but me, enable some type of file transer (samba, ftp, ssh, etc.), and set it up as a Movable Type (www.movabletype.org) 'blog for myself (my own little knowledge warehouse, or "k-log" as some call it).

what's the best way to do this? setting up my hosts.allow and hosts.deny? block all services but http and (ftp, ssh, samba)? block with IPCHAINS?

It seems to me there should be a distro that sets up a simple webserver with secure ftp. is there one?

any help will be appreciated.

SCP is enabled when you enable the SSH server, and there is a good windows client, winscp2 you can use from windows, and fish://user@host from kde.

For the firewall, I like shorewall, - apt-get install shorewall. You will need to read the documentation to set it up, but once set up it's very easy to modify. Although there are many other firewall programs too, search this forum for firewall to get some pointers.

As for setting up movable type, there are instructions that come with it, for debian as well I think. Although I think bblog is better for 2 reasons, it's easier to set up than MT, and er.. I wrote it
