When it comes to something security-related this is so very wrong. Doing it yourself means you get to make all the same mistakes everyone else made when they did it themselves. I'll bet you use an early version of WEP on your wireless network don't you? The people who invented WEP had the same idea: let's just do it ourselves! No, If you want to learn iptables, go learn iptables. If you want to secure a network, use a well-respected peer-reviewed solution. If you want to do both, experiment with iptables in some safe environment and then see if you can't contribute something to your favorite well-respected peer-reviewed project. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
