To the Developers of Leaf
I've bean using the LRP variant for some years now, started out with Dachstein, and used every other upgrade since then to the now Bearing uClibc.
Normally it takes me some months of testing, before a firewall application passes my approval, when i started testing Dachstein back then, many others passed my list, Smoothwall, Coyotee, Freesco...but they all was NADA, Nothing to boast about. I ended up sticking with Dachstein, cause it did just wat i needed it to do, and it was modular, making it even beter, and best of all, the support received from the list, someone was always there to give a helping hand.
Anyway, as time goes on, i continue to check other firewall apps to see what's cooking in the Mini-Linux firewalll world.
ALso, i have decided to take Leaf to the JOB, as firewall it was perfectly welcome, but seeing must peeps, has no knowledge about LINUX they gladly rejects anything name LINUX, when it comes to them..
Thefore i was forced to look for a simple solution, that my collegues can administrator without the aches and pain..
I came up with 2 options, Coyote and m0n0wall, of which coyotee's firewall, is not the best option to configure, so i stuck to m0n0wall, it's very simple to configure, and it's all webbase..
i have play with webconfig.lrp, but basically this is only a front-end shell, u'll still need to knowledge to configure the items on bearing.
my question to the developers, won't it be possbile to make bearing a better webbase applicatiion using .php orso, more graffical (or don't this fall into your mission statemen) basicall most of the top firewall manufactures are going this way, it's selling, if u take those linksys home routers, even the simple hobbyist can configure them
Do hope i haven't touched any toes, but after looking at m0nowall, i was amused, and enjoyed the layout, and the workings..but i love bearing still, cause of the modular approach, which m0n0wall is lacking......
regards reggie
