I'm a raw novice in the unix world and have purchased a cube 3 to act as a small server for my home network. I've spent several hours plowing through the archives and fiddling I find myself quite confused. First, can I secure my small network using a cube 3 with the standard firewall software? I plan to run the windows file sharing service and use the box to act as a mail server. I'd like to run the cube as my only connection to the internet. Second, assuming I can secure it could someone give me (or point me to) a brief guide to configuring the cube. I find the manual unclear. For example, I presume that the output rules apply to the machines and users on "my" side of the cube. Thus I should allow my users (my wife, me, and my sons) to have all access...my default policy should be accept. Then for input rules, I've got: Order Source Criteria Destination Criteria 1 IP=192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255; IP=127.0.0.1-127.0.0.1; Port=80; Protocol=tcp; Port=80; Protocol=tcp; " name="" accept 2 IP=192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255; IP=192.168.1.1-192.168.1.1; Port=80; Protocol=tcp; Port=80; Protocol=tcp; " name="" accept etc I've set forewarding to default deny! When I do a port scan, however, I find that I can see several ports from the outside. Again, I'm told that 139 is open, 23 (telnet), 25 (smtp), 113 (ident), 143 (imap). Help? thanks in advance.
