Hi, Havent had to post much on this list due to the great work Tom has done on documenting shorewall. I have used a few ipchains / iptables rule generators and can say that shorewall is by far the most powerful and simplest to use. Last week my main firewall had a hard disk failure and I took the opportunity to install a new one based on shorewall. It took under 1 hour to setup running on RedHat 7.3 and is performing well and has greatly improved my firewalling capabilities. Thanks again for all your efforts, Mark _______________________________________________________________________ Founded in 1998, e-street.com is a leading urban data capture company, and gathers comprehensive information on retail properties in all of the major urban centres in the UK and Ireland.
