Is there much configuration on it? I've set up FW-1,
but I've never seen RealSecure. I suppose I feel a bit UNSECURE (grin)
about installing a product for a client when I've never even seen the
product. Forgive me if I'm beating a dead horse.
I'm not sure the client fully understands the product, and so I'm trying
to get a grip on it before I chat with him in about two hours. Can you use
it as a standalone firewall solution? Or does it essentially just serve
as an intrusion detection package?
I believe the way his network is setup, they have the one firewall, and he wants
to now create a DMZ as well.
Thanks again,
Steven

The setup is not involved at all. pkgadd on unix, .exe on NT.
I've done both...The NT network engine will require a reboot, while the
Unix network engine and NT system agents will not. It doesn't
matter what type of firewall you are using. Real Secure looks at IP
packets. -BK
