I'have purchased a copy of Freebsd for testing gateway and firewall possibilities.
I found that is a good software for make this application.

For a easy use of firewall a want make a PC with only a mainboard, 2 network cards for packet filtering and a hard disk with operating system.

For controlling firewall, I make a software running under windows (nt/visual basic).

This software must be capable write a firewall configuration file on FreeBSD hard disk. This file is user when firewall boots: It's very easy and usefull.

My problem is controlling firewall by a telnet cession or by a specific port different of port 23 for an telnet cession.

In effect: i can't log as root in a telnet cession.
If i log in a telnet cession with a user with same group of root (wheel group) i have not rights for set a firewall parameter by ipfw command.
So if i want make a remote reboot of firewall: is not possible by a telnet cession.

Please email me how make for log a telnet cession with root user (or with a user with same rights that can set ipfw and reboot).

Tanks
