Re: [expert] How to install firewall?
Yeah, be sure to read _carefully_ the license. What a rip! Try something that is actually free, like Freesco (www.freesco.org). Runs on a floppy, or from the hard drive. Basic floppy install takes less than 10 minutes if you have all the information you need, and no oddball hardware. Otherwise it takes 15 ;) Monte "Bruce E.

RE: [expert] How to install firewall?
Ernest, I have attached two shell scripts that make use of ipchains. Mandrake 7.2 I do believe has ipchains on as default "not sure". Just run the scripts like so "./fire-wall" 1. Script "fire-wall" will block all icmp's and block all ports except the following by default. ftp-data (20) and ftp (21) ssh (22) telnet (23) smtp (25) DNS (53) http (80) POP-3 (110) identd (113) nntp (119) https (443) ICQ Services (it's a server service) (4000) It will also open up high ports as you need them! "NOTE: anybody that dose a portscan will return all 65,000 ports as open and filtered :) " 2. Script "flush" will flush your ipchains back to nothing. Please Edit the files to suite your needs! Also another firewall that works great called netmax http://www.netmax.com hope this helps! Eric Peters System Administrator Network Operations Inherent.com Inc.

Re: [expert] How to install firewall?
If you really want security, your firewall should be on another computer strictly devoted to that one function. As firewall on your desktop is better then nothing, but not as much as you would think. Go to my website and you will find a link to EDGE firewall/router by Fireplug. I have this desktop running behind an EDGE firewall. As a bonus, it is also a router for my home network using IP masq. Pretty slick. The software is free for download, and the hardware can be a 486 with a floppy and 16mb of RAM or harddrive version (more tools and the like) on a 486 with 32mb of RAM. Lineo, the Thinclient split of Caldera bought Fireplug a couple weeks ago...guess they were impressed with it too.
