Hey *, as I sweat through another day of crap dealing with an all-in-one box (firewall, IDS, AVS, report generating, soon to be a VPN server) I'm wondering if someone has started a project to put some freeware together in some semblance of sanity on a FBSD box. There's basically nothing that this box does that a combo of IPFW (or another bsd filter), snort, ntop, and some other freeware stuff can't do. As usual the problems I face stem from feature-overload, since the vendor has one crappy feature and then adds another crappy feature instead of fixing the first one so they can market the box better. I'm thinking that since the tools I mentioned are already fairly mature and robust, all that's needed is some sewing and, when core functionality is achieved, a GUI. This sounds like a fun project IMO, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel, especially when I have no spare time. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Get a taste of Religion ... eat a priest! ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
