Agree with you about the ease of configuration concerning NAT. IP filtering is just as easy. Just wondering: why are you running OpenBSD 2.5 instead of 2.8? John Hebert System Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Changing your state of mind through sound. <p><p><p><p>-----Original Message----- From: Dustin Puryear [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 19:56:03 +0000 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [brluglist] Compaq Deskpro <p>I finally figured out the Compaq Deskpro units. The whole BIOS setup on floppy deal is a bit silly, but I have OpenBSD running as we speak. Talk about easy to configure--I had both networks cards and NAT setup in under 5 minutes after reading the OpenBSD FAQ. (Setting up networks cards under *BSD is similar to working with /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-* under RH Linux.) I'd say that if you are at all familiar with UNIX then setting up a OpenBSD (or FreeBSD) router is easier that doing the same under Linux. The syntax for ipfw or ipchains seems a bit contrived now that I've worked with /etc/ipnat.rules and /etc/ipf.rules. Next, I'll setup the firewall! Anyway, I'm running OpenBSD 2.5. For more information read http://www.openbsd.org. Regards, Dustin PS Package management is a kick in the pants as well.
