Re: Linuxd firewall distro for Windows People

["Bob T. Kat" <bobkat79@charter.net>]

Suse 8 has a firewall wiz in yast2 that is outrageously simple
(disclaimer: I have no idea what it sets up or how secure it is), it
even offers you the ability to nat all with a few simple mouse clicks,
not my style but it does look pretty slick, after a couple weeks with
redhat 7.3 I've converted back to suse, have a lot of fun!

Bleh.  I'm running RH7.2 on my Linux router (and, yes, there are Windoze
b0xes behind it).
Two NICs, a hard drive, and that's about all that's required.

I wrote a script to do all the IPTables configuring for me because
Steve's
firewalling script wouldn't work for meh.
'Tis attached.
