Re: Linux Firewall

[rob.roberson () verizon com]

If you are interested, linux 2.4.x kernels can be configured as effective
packet filters, including stateful inspection. I'll be glad to try and help
in this area. There are also several 'hardening scripts' to make the
firewalling configuration (as well as some other aspects of network and
host security) somewhat automated (checkout http://www.bastille-linux.org).

On the other hand, you can purchase a 3-rd party product to run on your
linux system. I haven't tried any of these yet.

i got a linux box i would like to turn into a firewall for home... i have
it set up right now with 2 nics and just using simple maquerading. I would
like to go to the next step in complexity... I was looking around
sourceforge and freshmeat and saw a mind boggling number of programs.. I am
new to firewalls, but experienced in Linux / AIX / HPUX. Any input would be
appretiated and welcomed..
