And there are a few good alternatives, like Shorewall (www.shorewall.net) - works kinda like Smoothwayy, or IP-Cop which is a bootable CD with Linux and the iptables stuff all ready to go.

[SLUG] Gentoo/Redhat: time
Greetings,
I am currently attempting to install Gentoo, over a modem, using Redhat
boot disks (Gentoo doesn't have a boot disk option as yet, though some
poeple have had success in building Gentoo using other distro bootdisks
(slackware/redhat)). I am trying to bootstrap the distro (bootstrap.sh),
however, due to a buggy motherboard/BIOS the build is failing due to
incorrect time (the hardware clock will not keep dates after Y2K, the clock
is reset to 1994 dates after every reboot).
The redhat bootdisk I am using has a program clock but I am not sure of
the exact argument format to pass to set the clock to a reasonable time. An
example is as follows:
{
# clock --set --date=01012003
BusyBox v0.60.5 (2003.01.24-24:44+) muti-call library
Usage: date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
The date command issues by hwclock returned with unexpected results.
The command was:
date --date=01012003 +seconds-into-epoch=%s
The response was
No usable set-to time. cannot set clock.
}
Redhat uses Busybox as part of their boot disk image(as above?),
unfortunately busybox does not have documentation for the clock command
(http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html)
Output of clock --help (of which I can be bothered to type...):
{
Usage hwclock [function] [options...]
Funtions:
--help ...
--show ...
--set set the rtc to the time given with --date
--hctosys ...
--systobc ...
--getepoch print out the kernel hardware clock epoch value
--setepoch set the kernel hardware clock epoch value to the value given
with --epoch
--version ...
Options:
--utc ...
--localtime ...
--direction ...
--badyear Ignores rtc's year because the bios is broken
--date specifies the time to which to set the hardware clock
--epoch=year specifies the year which is the beginning of the hardware
clock's epoch value
--noadjfile ...
}
I have also tried the following (where XX is a time/number):
{
#clock --badyear
/var/lib/lastdate: No such file or directory
#echo Wed Jul 6 11:11:11 2003 -0.175775 seconds lastdate
#clock --badyear
Wed Jul 6 XX:XX:XX 1994 -0.175775
}
But that doesn't seem to work either (and gives no reason why it shouldn't)
Please, somebody put me out of my misery, I don't want to have to
re-install redhat :-)

And in reply to myself; I have found some documented examples of using clock and hwclock (it's amazing what you find after a computer break:-) , but they still do not seem to work (and give the same I gave previously). I have tried the following: hwclock --set --date=7 Jul 2003 14:32 hwclock --set --date=07 Jul 2003 14:32 clock --set --date=7 Jul 2003 14:32 clock --set --date=07 Jul 2003 14:32 AFAIK these commands are valid, can anybody tell me why they might not be OR does anybody know of a statically linked binary of a network time program?
