I want to allow folks on the local subnet to have shell accounts and use internet applications on the FreeBSD box, but I also need to maintain the security on the local subnet. I take it from previous discussions, this is being done in a number of sites. I'm interested in finding out if those folks use any special software on FreeBSD for the security part (firewall code, wrappers, etc.) and if anyone has had any unusual problems doing this. Also, are there any tricks to running FreeBSD as a gateway ? I would like to use version 2.0 if possible.
