Re: [gentoo-user] Firewall on Cd
Yes, and you can even do it with a floppy disk. google on floppy firewall. And putting it on Smart Media Card or Compact Flash Card is also not bad idea, (no rotary parts, no heat, low power consumption, versatility and low price). If you like to spend more money (my wife always like to :-( ), you can use faster combination: USB2.0 + Secure Digi Card. noro -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, and you can even do it with a floppy disk. google on floppy firewall. The advantages are easily recovered, read only media.

Add an IDS that will auto reboot on detection of problems and you have a pretty good combo. Do a google search for SentryCD. I don't know if it's still maintained or not, but it should be exactly what your looking for. If you were to roll your own, search linuxfromscratch.org for boot-cd hints. If you want to use the Gentoo Live CD as a base, the boot-cd hints will still give you a good understanding of what goes into it. Cooper. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
