Well, I certainly do. He seemed to describe already having "4 redundant
firewalls" whatever that means.
My system has a firewall on it, which was installed when I first got my
Linux setup. I have done everything myself except for this firewall. For
several days now I've been reading up on Unix security and firewalls, since
it seems that my firewall is controlling ports that are handled by the
tcpserver that I installed with QMail. I think that the restrictions of the
firewall are the reason I was getting side-effect problems when installing
the Memphis RPM, such as the default behavior of telnet changing!
I am "functioning", that is I can run QMail and EZMLM (but not remote pop3)
but I am very much studying the issue of UNIX security and QMail setups.
Also, I am working closely with a client www.hatewatch.org who keeps track
of hate sites on the internet, (racist sites, anti-women, anti-gay, etc.)
My expectation is that my security needs in conjunction with internet
services will be very high, so I WANT to hear the horror stories. Other
peoples problems are my problems.
