I'm a linux newbie. Some of you know me as "Jun Martin," the sysop of The SkyWalker's Court BBS in Pampanga.
I've recently taken the plunge into the Linux world and I'm enjoying miyself so far, but the dive is not without frustrations.
Here are some of them, regarding my gateway setup, using RH 7.3:
1. I'm wondering why pppd isn't being loaded at startup. I don't want to have to login as root just to run it. I want the computer to be functioning as a gateway a few seconds after somebody switches it on.
2. I need a secure IPTABLES firewall script that allows outgoing access for a few select users.
3. I also need a secure firewall for my fileserver which is running Samba under RH 7.3 also. I hope someone here can help me get started.
TIA,
