Hi,

There are always more questions! :-)

What do you people all use/prefer for a firewall to run with Mandrake?
I am not overly impressed with the inbuilt firewall configuration ...
so far I have had to disable it completely to get GAIM or my mail to
work. I installed Shorewall and then Firestarter, but I don't
particularly like that either, plus it crashes at least once a day for
some unknown reason.

Someone elsewhere put me onto Guarddog, which I installed today and I
do like it. It gives me far better control over my firewall settings
and allows custom rule creation which is what I like. However, it does
not put an icon in the system tray, does not appear to give me any
alerts or request permissions for anything, and I really have no way
of knowing that it is even working. I really like to *see* what my
firewall is doing.

Are there any other linux compatible firewalls out there, or front
ends for the built in one, that would give me the control I want, plus
allow me to monitor what it's doing?

I guess I'm asking too much again, but I guess it's Windows based
paranoia at work ;-)

Many thanks!
