I wonder what will be the best tools to use for screening packets from different sources : 1) screend 2) tcp_wrapper 3) ip_filt Preferably, I want something that can be installed without modifications to the kernel sources. But if patches are readily available, I DO NOT mind. No, I don't have the luxury to buy anothe router and make it sit in front of my FreeBSD boxes, so I can only turn FreeBSD box into a screenign router instead. I am ready to use/set up my 2.0.5 boxes with the built-in ipfw or with any other tools above (also for some private reasons, don't ask). Can someone with such experience please post/advice/suggest/point me to the right track ? Many thanks in advance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMHCp00mThh0X7Um5AQHdrAP/XbDAyAmJ1O/6mau7rWYMcnZWn+hUpjGP DfLoP7+/VwiJpvfrBthTT78lJOYJPB8biBaiAOTIGwRA58UElVofQkQuxapqtcib WpYn/6rIpHamIq2q7X/gwHfzNxAUK3UUcv5VtYLuFF8RtlPJa56xHLEWBjyW0Bv6 tlMz4sGnlt4= =Z78X -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
