I don't like/use OpenBSD for anything other than firewalls. But I do think as a firewall, pf really can't be beat, the configuration for typical rules just 'flows'. IPTables by comparison is so cryptic. (speaking as a past user of ipfwadm, ipfw, ipchains, iptables, pf, and Cisco PIX, which is probably the worst of the ones I've used).
while I haven't personally used this, I've heard enough good things about it from folks I know and trust that I'll stick in a mention of pfSense... pfSense is a turnkey BSD hybrid, which uses freeBSD's kernel with openBSD's pf, all wrapped up in a nice easy to use web interface (and you can still get into shell and manipulate the pf scripts directly).
its optimized so it can run off as little as a 128MB flash card (CF). _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
