I just installed Turnkey Linux and it looks promising.. just two things that are bugging me. whenever I boot the machine it doesn't complete the boot cycle, I go in the server room and its stuck at the confconsole screen and the manual config is already specified with the IP and everything but it is persistently interupting my boot cycle! Is it supposed to do this? I had to remove confconsole from the startup with update-rc.d because of this, but I still don't understand this behaviour.

 

The other thing.. I put it on a public ip range with a 255.255.255.0 subnet for now, and it seems I can only reach the web interface and other services from within that Class C range. Any other machine on the internet can't reach it, and I understand it's a good idea to do this, but I would like to open it up to another subnet for our other network. I'm used to using iptables, so this firewall config in the webmin is a bit foreign to me. I can see the rules in there for port 80, 22, 12321, etc. I tried specifying the source IP range for my other network in there but I still can't get in. Is there a config file blocking this somewhere ?
