Subject: 2 quick firewall questions for FreBSD


>
> First, if one were to deploy FreeBSD 5.3 as a standard
> web and email server, would it need a firewall?
> I don't see the point because only ports like 25 for
> smtp, 110 for pop, 80 for http, etc... will be listening
> and open for connections with or without a firewall.
>
> Second, I would like to replace my Linux gateway running
> Shorewall.  Shorewall is a nice package for managing the
> netfilter firewall capabilities of the Linux kernel.
> Is there something similar for FreeBSD?
