FWBuilder is probably the bestestest Program I have seen for doing firewalls. Infact, I went from Using Linux to OpenBSD for my firewall, lo-and-behold... all I had to do was change the os type and mechanism (pf vs iptables) and life was good. Plus, as you say there are things for PIX and now Cisco stuff (well PIX is Cisco, but for me they are still seperate) I have 8 active and 4 inactive ports on this machine. Was as simple as recompiling it for openbsd and pf. Nice setup, I can do a bridging firewall to the DMZ from the Internet and also a full firewall from the DMZ/Internet to the LAN. it is really nice. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, Better, Faster: Linux Use Debian GNU/Linux, its a bazaar thing NOTICE: Due to Presidential Executive Orders, the National Security Agency may have read this email without warning, warrant, or notice, and certainly without probable cause.
