-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hej Guys,
I am in the processes of designing/building up a new firewall and mailserver for my family's use, and yes I am a beginner on Debian and building my own network. But really looking forward to it. Will be lots of fun. I am thinking of getting two firewalls, and having a DMZ in between. (Internet -> Outerfirewall -> DMZ -> Innerfirewall -> local) I also would like to run apt-proxy, squid, privoxy, but where? I am planning to go down to Akihabara and find some second hand old pentium mini desktops. Was planning on three old computers, but would like to get the right setup from the beginning. (Pentium 300 128MRam for firewalls, Pentium 900 256MRam for Webserver) I am planning on having the following software. Please let me know if I am missing something, or have the wrong combination... MTA : postfix, postfix-tsl, pop-before-smtp pop3: courier-pop-ssl imap: courier-imap-ssl Remove javascripts: Sanitizer Remove spams: spamassassin Sort mails: procmail fetch pop mails: fetchmail Web mail interface: squirrelmail (with loads of plugins...) Fetch hotmails: gotmail web cache: squid apt cache: apt-proxy Ad removal: privoxy Security: snort, acidlab, tripwire, logcheck, harden, bastille, iptables web server: apache miscelaneous: dns, ntp, seti security updates: cron-apt I would very much like to know what your recommendations are. 1) Is this a good setup? Or overkill? total maybe 10 persons to use mailserver in the beginning. 2) My thoughts are to have absolute minimum installed on the firewalls, especially the inner firewall. 3) On which computer should the squid, privoxy, and apt-proxy be running? On outerfirewall or on webserver? Or should I have a dedicated computer for this? 4) Is there any idea of having a dedicated logserver? 5) Mail server and web server? Should this be in the same computer, or separate? More secure if they are in separate? 6) Should I have the security stuff also on the dmz area? 7) Is it recommended to configure cron-apt to run once a day, and only install the security updates? Thanks in advance Bengt (a rather beginner on Debian and network, but loving it) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQE/MO4a572CTldjlxoRAuaqAJ9zwGNP6pz57Fdruj+Df9BdFEGMogCeJ0eB cwNuBX0VvL4Pp59PSuuw1rs= =D5dX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
