Re: Linux Firewall

You might have a look at David Ranch's excellent Trinity OS pages at

http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/index-linux.html

He has quite a lot of excellent information about securing and maintaining
various distros.

Also check out the Firewall toolkit ( FWTK ) page:

http://www.fwtk.org/main.html

While you're at it check out NetBSD, and OpenBSD in combination with the
FWTK and an http caching proxy like squid (with squid guard). You might
like to save all the hours it will take to get default linux install to be
secure.

http://www.netbsd.org

http://www.openbsd.org

Also try a google search for 'linux firewalls' it's probably much more up
to date than I am.


good luck.
