The following packages enhance the functionality of ALSA and are available in Pickle: lib-base/alsa-libs apps-base/alsa-utils lib-base/alsa-plugins lib-base/alsa-firmware Only root and members of the audio group are allowed to access the sound card though.

In order to help mitigate against many network attacks, it is of paramount importance that the system firewall be configured correctly. Cucumber Linux uses the standard Linux firewall: Iptables. Configuring Iptables can be a very complicated task. This page will cover how to set up reasonable default firewall rules.

The actual init scripts (for starting and stopping services) are placed in /etc/rc.d/init.d. These scripts are then symlinked into /etc/rc.d/rc?.d, where ? is the runlevel (one of the following: S0123456). Each script is prefixed with an S or K, and a 2 digit number.

Efibootmgr will not work straight out of the box though. This is due to the face the the efivars partition (/sys/firmware/efi/efivars) is not mounted by default on Cucumber Linux.

Additionally, it is often disable to create additional groups for categorizing users and handling permissions. This section provides a basic overview of Cucumber Linux specific user management.
