The way my site is now configured, my ISP (Qwest) baby-bell has its router connected to my pfSense firewall. The firewall computer connects to my FreeBSD server which handles my DNS, mail, and web. The server then fans out to my several desktops. This one, my laptop, my daughter's MacBook, and has a spare CAT5 for my wife's PC. At a minimum, I'd like to have CVS working on at least my server. While Jon Horne had no formal bg in comp sci, the guy is a net-wizard. Problem is, that I haven't been able to reach him by chat or email for a couple weeks. Before Xmas, '07, I used ipf and/or IPFW .... managed to catch and kill hundreds of kiddie-scripters trying to crack in. But with pfSense and how things are *now*, I'm in the dark. So any help willl be very welcome. tia, folks, gary PS: personal plug: a slice of my book is within my ~/.sig ... -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org For FBSD list: http://transfinite.thought.org/slicejourney.php
