hi all
my system does not allow ssh from outside, so how do i change the default firewall rule(this must be the inbuilt 'cauz i haven;t installed any). also i can;t use "nslookup" as it isnt installed so what is the name of the utility that i should emerge??

A lil bit more infomation on what your trying to do would help. I have no clue what you are asking for at this point.

are you saying that you can not ssh into your box or out of it?

Which firewall are you using? iptables? The package for nslookup i believe is net-dns/bind-tools.

To the best of my knowledge Gentoo does not install a firewall by default. From the command line try `ps auxww | grep sshd` and make sure that sshd is running. If you want sshd to start at boot remember to add it using rc-update.

For dns queries in Gentoo use dig
To get dig emerge bind-tools
