Yes, the master site is at http://www.linuxrouter.org and for more info
you can go to http://linuxrouter.sourceforge.net/ and
http://lrp.cOwz.com . As with many Linux projects it's a group effort:
Charles Steinkuehler's LRP Website - http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/
The Seattle Firewall - http://seawall.sourceforge.net/
Matthew Grant's Eiger images - http://lrp.plain.co.nz/
among others......right now I'm trying out the Eiger floppy version and
it's running entirely in RAM. If there's any editing that must be done
you use the lrcfg program - the whole firewall script is there, spread
out on a table.... a fine piece of work, I might add. These efforts that
have been made for making firewalls easily accessible for
non-professional users are deeply appreciated by many that are new to
the Linux scene. It actually encourages people to go out there and
explore the world of firewalls. And I'm one of them....... :-)
BTW - Wouldn't it be easier to run the Internet Junkbuster than having
such a huge rc.firewall script? Just wondering......
