Hi list
I usually install shorewall to stand-alone servers or into servers
that act non only, but also as gateway for other boxes.
If I install a dedicated box as firewall, usually I consider dedicated
distro like IpCop, PFSense, ZeroShell, ... because they give me a distro
already hardened and some tools like graphical reports that are very
useful for monitoring activity.
Using Munin/Monitorix/... I can have the flexybility of Shorewall and the
confort of a visual monitoring system. I like this combination, so
sometimes I ask to myself and now to the list: If you are planning to
install a box wich primary activity is firewalling (usual
NET/LAN/DMZ/WLAN config), wich distro do you consider/prefer?
Some particular packages and/or advice for configuration?
Thanks, P.
