iptables, (netfilter) doesn't do that, as far as I know. But I'm not sure it's needed. First step in linux deployment for me, is to shutdown unused services. That's IMPOSSIBLE with Windows, for practical purposes, so you need to keep the Bad Guys away from the interesting, open ports. I'm NOT a big fan of Windows Firewalls. I just don't trust them. I use linux as my NAT/Gateway server for the whole subnet. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
