Hello All,
Has anyone found making a debian machine with firewall support useful?
What are firewalls useful for? Do they simply prevent packets from passing
through the firewall into the rest of the network? Would a firewall
necessarly have to be also configured to be a router? Any info you guys
can provide would be useful. I was thinking about making one of my debian
machies a firewall, but don't really know what I would do with it:)

Thanks,

D. Ghost

It's pretty easy - basically you should install the latest
radiusd-cistron which lets you specify a per-user somultaneous-use
limit with something like the following:

# Let users login only once simultenously
DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use = 1,
Fall-Through = 1

# I let myself login up to 10 times
amosSimultaneous-Use = 10,
Fall-Through = 1

That's it.

Radiusd-cistron is maintained by Miquel van Smoorenburg, who's also a
Debian maintainer (among many other things...:), so you can build a
debian package stright from the "upstream" source.
