I don't know about Bandwidth Control. However, several nice Linux solutions were released recently, that resolve the main drawback of SmoothWall - iptables support (which requires kernel 2.4, and SmoothWall is based on 2.2...). On the other hand, most of these solutions don't have any GUI. I listed these solutions a few weeks ago, and asked your opinion about them. Except for one that reported about his positive experience with Devil-Linux, I didn't get any response. Anyway, an important thing happended a few days ago: The leading (?) iptables GUI, "Firewall-Builder", added support for "floppyfw", which is one of the distributions that I listed. You still need to run it from another Linux (e.g. RH, Mandrake), but I think that it is a Good Thing (for security), and that this combination can build a good replacement for Smoothwall. I want to list the various distros again, hoping that there will be somebody else with any experience with them: Devil-Linux http://www.devil-linux.org Astaro Security Linux http://www.astaro.org Sentry Firewall http://www.sentryfirewall.com Shorewall http://shorewall.sourceforge.net Gibraltar http://www.vianova.at/products/gibraltar floppyfw-1.9.11 http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw Start Up Linux http://startuplinux.com Note: When I mention "floppyfw", it doesn't refer to its stable version, which is based on 2.2, but to its devel version (1.9.11). -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
