I think it was mentioned here, but since this threads has been going awhile I do a cheap plug. :-) Real Time has a firewall solution that is works on a ThinkNIC, which is is 99% CDROM based with the last 1% of the config stored in NVRAM (so you can change ipchains rules, etc). Works pretty slick. It based off of RedHat 6.2, kernel 2.2, ipchains, etc. I am very confident in it's functionality and security, since I used one at all of Viking's home game to connected the front-office people to the game day network (via a wireless lan no less). While the Vikings sucked this year, our ThinkNIC firewall worked like a charm. For security, the NFL IS department gave it it's blessing. I'm pretty sure minor changes to the ISO is all that would be needed to get it to work on some other exotic hardware. :-) -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org Minnesota Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
