The LEAF home page recently announced the affiliation of rcf, a pretty good firewall for Linux. Personally, I think it's better than 'pretty good', but I'm kinda biased. :-) Here's the complete description: rcf (aka rc.firewall) is an ipchains-based firewall with support for over 50 network services (including vtun, dhcp, nfs, smb, napster, proxies, online games, etc.), masquerading, port forwarding, and ip accounting. All services are self-contained modules which can be prioritized in the ipchains stack. Protections include spoofing, stuffed routing/masqerading, DoS, smurf attacks, outgoing port scans, and many more. rcf also supports unlimited public, private (masqu'ed), dmz, and mz (non-masq'ed) interface and their subnets. Access rules are defined per interface and dmz/mz server "clusters". rcf is compatible with Red Hat, Slackware, Debian, Linux Router Project (LRP), and many other distros. rcf is distributed under the General Public License (GPL) terms. The home page is at <http://rcf.mvlan.net/>. The developers list is quite active, so I'd invite you to join. Either way, I'll be keeping up with comments here too. :-) LateR! js. -- Jean-Sebastien Morisset, Sr. UNIX Administrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal Homepage <http://jsmoriss.mvlan.net/>; UNIX, Internet, Homebrewing, Cigars, PCS, PalmOS, CP2020 and other Fun Stuff...
