RE: Evaluating Firewall

["Ruud Kenbeek" <ruud () tunix nl>]

Hello Vineet,

With all respect to the people who reacted previously, I think you should
evaluate a firewall on three major point:

1) Security
2) Security and
3) Security

All other point mentioned by yourself and others are secondairy to this. I
can build you a perfect firewall that's manageble, speedy, etc, but if it's
not secure you've got nothing.


With kind regards,
Ruud Kenbeek
