It has many additional benefits, like the ability to use it as a router, remote configuration options (just login using OpenSSH) if you suddenly find yourself needing access from some unexpected location etc. There are many diferent solutions for this, ranging from really straightforward 'boot from floppy' systems (like Freesco and LRP), to options that allow you to use the system as a server at the same time (basically every *nix, with different security and option levels). If you want the easy one I recommend Freesco, if you want more whistles I would recommend OpenBSD. A PII 233 is overkill. The boot from floppy options require a 386 with 12 MB, a floppy drive and 2 network adapters, for OpenBSD a Pentium is nice. Jochem ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

I use blackice from networkice (www.networkice.com). A little expensive ($300) for the server version but I have been very happy it so far.

Re: [Home Office Firewall]
If you want something prewritten and looks good I have heard good things about zonealarm. If you want something highly customizable I recommend OpenBSD with IPFilter as you firewall/gateway/router. There are alot of howtos that can get you up and running fairly quickly if you are familiar with unix. http://www.openbsd.org http://www.embsd.org (stripped down openbsd2.8 for firewalls/routers) Tangorre, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any ideas on home firewall software?

RE: Home Office Firewall
I hear Blackice is pretty good. I've used McAfee's firewall as well. They both do a great job of blocking traffic. Unfortunately, on a development server that caused me problems and I ended up passing on that idea. They're more trouble than they're worth for me. Your situation may be different. Blackice works on NT and 2000. McAfee is only for 95/98/ME. Don't be fooled by the cable/dsl routers. The packaging is misleading. Although network translation does provide a level of enhanced security since the end user doesn't know the internal IP, a good hacker can still get through the router and get to your machine. However, if you find a cable/dsl router that has a built-in firewall (the most expensive ones have a real firewall) you should be OK. If you're on a modem, you have little to worry about to begin with. Blackice or McAffee whould be sufficient in that case. ---mark = Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-547-5386 Efax: 801-730-7289 Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 125160 / AIM: markwarric = -Original Message- From: Tangorre, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 10:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Home Office Firewall Any ideas on home firewall software?
