I need quick advice on this problem (quick means by 12:00pm EST Fri
15th.).
My employer has finally decided to impliment security measures. They
are installing some big firewall system, there by rendering my humble
Debian and Sun boxes silent. They are masq. IPs and allowing basicly
only http traffic. What I know is that the box has three interfaces,
external (main IP router connected), Outside (DNS, WWW, mail? servers
connected), and Trusted (the rest of the College WAN including my Deb.
boxes, and Sun boxes). I've gotten used to having unrestricted access,
and don't quite know what to do about this. Losing the server this mail
is sent from will be a great loss. How do I cope with the big brother
attitude? (it hasn't been my servers that have been attacked). The only
connection points I'll have are on the trusted side of the wall. In
fact the wall will be on the other end of a WAN connection at our main
campus.
Basicly advice on dealing with the new network, and possibly cases or
arguments to use with admin. One concern is how are my students going
to telnet in for "Unix" practice and assignments? They are not going to
allow telnet access through the firewall.
Thanks
