Thank you. > LIke Jeff had stated before, these are among tools that a cracker could use if he/she had compromised your firewall and LEAF distro's include scarce few of them. PacketFilter has gone to the point of not including "ping" and "traceroute" utilities. "nslookup" could be used to query a private LAN DNS server. Most of us figure that you can use these utilities from a workstation behind the firewall instead. The clearest way of testing whether one of these utilities are included within the system is to try to use it.... if you get "command not found", it is probably not included in the OS.
