Are the "connections" you're referring to log entries created by your firewall rules?I have used both Dachstein 1.0.2 and Bering uClib 1.0.1 on a 90mhz pentium box. Both are standard distributions. The only modifications were to the modules section to support my two network cards. I have a cable modem connection.When running the Dachstien distribution I get a firewall error in about 48 hours. The LRP box still works but the log fills up with over 50 denied or rejected packets. The majority of these are Denials of SYN (#39) access attempts from other cable modem clients. When running the Bearing distribution I get no firewall errors or log entries, but I get a large number of UDP and TCP connections. More than I do with Dachstien. I did add the DHCPD package to the Bearing distribution because I got used to using it with Dachstien. When running the Dachstien distribution I get signifincantly fewer connections and they all seem to be TCP. No UDP. Is this normal? Or is there something I have missed about setting up the firewall used with Bearing? I didn't do anything to the firewall setup for Bearing. I just used it as it was configured in the downloaded image.
I am not that familiar with the shorewall firewall scripts used in Bering, but I think you are simply seeing the differences between how the Dachstein firewall (based on IPChains) and the bering firewall (based on IPTables) track and log traffic.
If you provide short examples of what you're seeing on each platform, we can probably tell you more about exactly what's going on.
