problem with bastille is that you cant undo what you did. So my advice 
is that you shouldnt use bastille unless you know how to do what 
bastille does from the command line, and if you know that, you dont 
need to use bastille. I learnt a hell of a lot about security undoing 
what i did through bastille. What i did was to run bastille again and 
note down all the settings i had made, and then, with the help of 
google and a friendly neighbourhood mailing list, undid everything 
one by one
