I have a question regarding firewalls. There are a variety of programs out
there to accomplish this, but what are the differences. I am currently
using Bastille that comes with Mandrake.
I installed it via the GUI, but then went into
/etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg and made some changes so only certain
ports are open.
If I were to use another firewall program to basically do the same thing,
leaving only some ports open for specific servers what would be the
advantages/disadvantages?
Is there a firewall in which I can, for example, leave port 80 open for
apache, yet have it appear stealthed from any scans (eg, using Nmap).
