1 i agree completely, shorewall is very nice, it is about all i use on all
2 my firewall box's (along with tripwire). it works great, and it makes it
3 very easy to do TOS/QOS type services on passed ports to the internal
4 network. which is great beacuse it allows my sister to run her precious
5 kazaa and doesn't mess with my ping times while i play CS, hehe =)
