Hector, Please turn off HTML, as it makes messages unnecessarily large and many people read their mail with text-based mail readers. For a firewall, you need a machine with two (or more) NICs. You need a recent kernel with netfilter support either compiled in or built as modules. You need the iptables user-space program and a firewall building tool would not be a bad idea. Personally, I use shorewall at home and for a lab that I administer. That's it as far the actual packages go. -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
