You'll need to do some hefty reading on this before you start. Get a good book on internet security/firewalls. Examples are: Garfinkel S., & Spafford G., "Practical UNIX & Internet Security", O'Reilly & Associates Inc, 1996 [ISBN 1-56592-148-8] Chapman D.B., & Zwicky E.D., "Building Internet Firewalls", O'Reilly & Associates Inc, 1995 [ISBN 1-56592-124-0] Then you can start to apply it to FreeBSD. In particular, have a look at the IPFW stuff. >We currently don't have >news running. But we do have uucp for email delivery. Can >one run uucp email over a leased line? You probably won't need to do this. UUCP is great for standalone setups (we use it ourselves), but it's pretty redundant once you have a leased line. You'll probably want to use sendmail or one of the other MTA's for this. Good luck!
