Yep, very easy to administer. Not as 'l33t' as going in through SSH and editing iptables by hand, but who has time for that, right? One thing I never did understand about those Linksys doohickeys tho, why you cannot specify one port to be forwarded to an internal server, ie. port 80 to your webserver. You gotta put a *range* of ports, which strikes me as odd, but that could be because I'm an id10t. -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.orderinchaos.org 14:30:14 up 4 days, 17:00, 7 users, load average: 0.16, 0.22, 0.17 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There are literally several levels of SCO being wrong.
