If you do not understand, what it does, you have not gained much. Could be, that it has a not very tight ruleset, for example. I have used so calles "firewalls" on older SuSE systems, and I was *very* dissapointed, when I found out what they were about. Do not know about Fedora, though. > > Now, what's the deal with Debian?

I do the following: $ apt-get install firehol look in the example config files at /usr/share/doc/firehol, pick the one most suiting your needs, customize (typically IP and/or interfaces change), try with & firehol try if it works, then am done, took me five minutes. I do not know what you mean by "off the box". mab > > Thanks, > -m. >
