A couple of things I'd love to see covered: - Configuring firewall rules to deal with the case where the external interface is on DHCP (i.e. you have a Comcast or DSL internet connection) - (If there's time) how to convert an existing ipchains ruleset to netfilter / iptables, or is it better to just start over? ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
