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?
