Set / to read-only and put /var in another partition. When you need to modify /etc, you remount / rw, modify, and then remount rw. A a gateway/firewall should not need config changes very often. With a ro filesystem, it doesn't really matter what filesystem do you use. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
