Re: [SLUG] Smoothwall.... Other alternatives?
Mandrake's MNF uses smoothwall which is running iptables. But the problem is that it's another distro. My problem is, smoothwall still uses ipchains. I am not real familiar with ipchains (only had 2 months with it, then netfilter came out). Also, smoothwall seems VERY cut down (no Man pages for one), and a lot of the documentation was useless. -- Regards, Kevin Saenz Spinaweb I.T consultants Ph: 02 4620 5130 Fax: 02 4625 9243 Mobile: 0418455661 Web: http://www.spinaweb.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Smoothwall.... Other alternatives?
hi, I downloaded, smoothwall-2.0-orient.iso there is a link to the docs on the site, and from memory, not having used smoothwall yet, this particular version uses iptables hth at the risk of being helpful, [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivered up the following on Wed, Oct 08, 2003 at 02:30:52PM +1000, Hi All, A friend of mine has just implemented smoothwall in their office, and no-one there knows much about Linux They were having problems with pptp VPN forwarding, however We finally sorted it out. My problem is, smoothwall still uses ipchains. I am not real familiar with ipchains (only had 2 months with it, then netfilter came out). Also, smoothwall seems VERY cut down (no Man pages for one), and a lot of the documentation was useless. Can anyone recommend another alternative that has better documentation, and uses iptables, and is user friendly. I suppose I could make a debian box with webmin, but the install isn't very friendly.

Re: [SLUG] Smoothwall.... Other alternatives?
Hi Scott, Check out IPCop www.ipcop.org It is a GPL fork from SmoothWall - forked about 18 months ago. It uses iptables. It also has lots of other cool features that SmoothWall doesn't... Will run from Compact Flash. ISDN DOV support. PCI ADSL support. Cheers, - Guy.
