Ahh, well, I suppose one could become confused. The basic idea of LEAF is to function as a separate router/gateway/firewall. One dedicates some old box as a "go between" access point to the internet. That's where LEAF runs. For your SUSE-10 you have IPTABLES which will function as a local firewall for your system, once you tell it what's allowed and what isn't. And before you ask, yes, it is a good idea to run a firewall on your workstation, AND a separate, dedicated peripheral firewall. A LEAF firewall has no tools on it that could assist an invader to take control. He has to break into LEAF before he can get to your local system(s), providing you're careful and never invite in any malware. -- Paul Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
