I have a great many questions about firewalling, by ipfw. Far too many to ask. I have one working, but am often forced to punch holes in it to ger FTP clients working, ping (ICMP), etc. Where can I find writings on how build a USEFULL firewall from FreeBSD? I'm having a hard time setting it up to allow what I want to allow through, nothing more, nothing less. Does the o'riley book cover examples pertinent to FreeBSD? Does anybody have a FBSD firewall DESIGN FAQ or www site? I know the iusage of the ipfw command, I just run into problems with things like ftp servers trying to make data sockets back to my network... is there a way to allow them in for that? It will only get harder when I get NAT running... -- Aaron Birenboim | Cell: (505) 350-1996 | Office: (505) 853-6866 ATA, ABQ NM | bug_aaron@aptec.com | perl is the duct-tape aaron@aptec.com | FAX: (505) 768-1379 | of software. www.aptec.com/~birenboi | Main Office 247-8371 | - Grady Booch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
