I am currently using an old 386 as a dialout firewall using picoBSD, a (slightly modified) dial configuration and some ipfw rules. (My wife uses MS Win98 behind this machine, and I don't trust MS software, hence pBSD...) The firewall has 8M of memory, and I'd rather not use any of the 40M hard disk, which is dedicated to MS WFW311 when the network is disconnected. I currently boot off a floppy and leave the hard disk alone. I can't find any way to tell IE5 on MSW98 to use passive ftp, and I want to keep the firewall rules as tight as possible, so it looks like I need some sort of FTP proxy. (My ISP doesn't seem to have a visible FTP proxy I can use, although I could ask further. I'd also rather avoid reliance on 3rd parties, as much as possible.) Currently I run ipfw on the firewall, but am considering a change to ipf and ipnat, since ipnat appears to have a builtin ftp proxy which is ipf-friendly. So what is this to all you? 1) Has anybody used ipf/ipnat with picoBSD? 2) How much disk space did you need beyond basic pBSD? 3) Did your configuration work? 4) Any suggestions? -- Christopher Vance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
