Well, like Patrick Schaaf said in an earlier e-mail, the security of iptables
depends entirely upon the skill of your rule-writing ability. Strong iptables
rules require thought. As for other stuff like CheckPoint, if you want it, then go
get it - it's not required, but IMO everything you use for your firewall that
improves its security should be used ;)
