Rick: A second box as a firewall in unnessary, you could use the program 'ipfwadm' to drop all routes except those you specify, OR you the program abacus_sentry to do that for you (which can also be configured to use ipfwadm to drop packets as well...) Right now abacus sentry is still beta, but in the Makefile i snagged this addie: # Send problems/code hacks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] So drop an email to him if you are interested in beta testing it. I would create a debian package, but as of now i have no knowledge on creating the control files required by dpkg to make them =\ ******************************* dA' Phucilage Phactory *Yesturday upon the stair, * *I met a guy who wasn't there,* *He wasn't there again today, * [EMAIL PROTECTED] *I think he's from the CIA. * ******************************* author unknown -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
