Thanks for the info, Like you said, MNF is a great tool to allow network administrator to have a good control of their internet link at low price (if you can't afford or configure a cisco firewall). By the way, I have question : > You said that MNF 2 has some triffic shaping capabilities, can you tell us how it > does that (cbq, htb, wondershaper) ? > Also, because it may not the purpose of this mailing list, have you a good mailing > list whre users can subscribe on the QOS handling on Linux ?

The one package that I'm running differently than what's in the latest MNF is sarg. I'm running 1.4.1-3mdk from 10.1. It behaves better than in the first iso IMHO. >I'm really looking forward to MNF2, as it has the best shorewall configuration >interface for non-techies I've ever seen, perfect for branch offices and other areas >where you're worried about long-term supportability as employees (and therefore >expertise) come and go.

It's by far the easiest way to go about it and it has enough flexibility where I don't have to go to the command line to edit it. I think the weakest point in the web GUI is in the servies configuration. I still have to edit files by hand to do some of the things I want to do. I'd still like to see a read only login so non techinical people can look at the web logs, etc... -randy
