Unless, like me, you believe every host should be as low profile as possible while still getting it's job done. You can blame my drill instructors for making me obsessed about being as small a target as possible. In that case, you should learn how to filter ports on every OS you use, as most of the boxen aren't going to be border firewalls and may need to run software that won't run on BSD.
That being said, an ncurses gui to linux rules is a godsend, those rules being almost as hard on the eyes as perl. I do prefer OpenBSD as the border firewall though. PF rules are just dreamy. tack On Mon, 4 Mar 2002, jay wrote: > GIVE UP YOUR LINUX BOXEN AND BOW TO THE DOMINATION OF IPFILTER OR SOMESUCH > STATEFUL FILTERING FIREWALL CREATED BY A CERTAIN BSD TEAM THAT MAY OR MAY > NOT BE AS STABLE, BUT HAS ADDED FEATURES. > > i really was shouting all of that. i think i need more caffeine. > or maybe some amphetamines. > > =jay ------------------------------------------------ Article 19: United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/eng.htm "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
