funny that.. the software provides a syslogd, and it can be configured for off machine logging (and, yes, it can run it through a serial port to a machine too..).. right now, though, my only complaint is that there isn't a picobsd ssh client that'll fit on the floppy aswell. give it time though, and i think someone with the programming expertise to do this, will.. the design for this is more oriented for home use, on your DSL link. it would sit between the DSL router and your LAN. this rather flexible, and yes, if you really wanted to have the disk, you could do it that way too. the kernel can support a HD/cdrom. i've just chosen to remove that part, because all i really want is a simple, diskless, low cost FW/NAT box. logging can take place on a loghost, behind the firewall. -- jan On 28 Sep 1999, Dag-Erling Smorgrav wrote: > "f.johan.beisser" <jan@caustic.org> writes: > > i've been using a p90, 16mb of ram quite successfully. no HD, it's > > a slightly customised version of picobsd, running from an ordinary floppy. > > I wouldn't run a diskless firewall unless I had provisions for remote > logging. And in any case, disks are so cheap nowadays - the added > flexibility is well worth the added cost.
