Re: Firewall on compac flash
if your going to be using iptables,
ULOGd -> mySQL (replace fav DBMS)
i work of a small IT solutions company and
we have a very simlar system using usb drives.
but whole (persistant) file system is read-only.
if our clients require changes to be made, they
flick the r/o switch and we can modifiy configs.
