We would like to be more present in this space but actually right now, we are not. > and that there is really no control over iptables. There is control over the iptables rules. You can alter the iptables settings by modifying conf/iptables.conf. We use chains heavily so that we can assign the proper interface to the chains at startup time. > I was hoping > for a solution that incorporated a bit of internal access control, > host and user inventory. For inline enforcement, access control can be done by modifying iptables. For vlan enforcement, it's usually better to do it with ACLs on your edge / core and proper VLAN segregation. Host inventory is done by PacketFence. Well, for my own understanding of what is host inventory I guess.. User inventory: except for guests, we decided that it would be best if our users used their already existing infrastructure for user management. This is often Active Directory but could be RADIUS, Kerberos, etc. We have a flat file facility (conf/user.conf) see the local authentication module. If you have any precise suggestions to improve our documentation or installation procedure please let us know. However, we are a small team and can't simply comply to requests like: "Please have documentation that covers all the various use cases". Be specific and we'll do our best to address it.
