I have my ppp and ip-masqing manually working, is there a way to automate
the ppp connection and ipfwadm commands on demand. As in one of the lan

Thanks

Hello,
I'm using the book "Linux Network Toolkit" by: Paul G.Sery and
attempting to run IP Masq on my home (Red Hat 5.1) 4 machine LAN.

The symtoms are this:
When my default firewall policies for input and output are "accept",
everything works (from masqued computers as well as server), but security
is obviously compromised.
This is definately bad.
When input + output are deny, the server and the
masqued computers
sorry about the format, every rule is really on one line,
and all comments have # before them in actual file.
