For DDNS, an alternative would be to use ddclient which is a perl script
and it acts as a deamon and polls the interface for the IP and updates
it.
I used to use dynip.sh though, but it's a bit clunky.
On the Firewall stuff
My comment is, wouldn't it be simpler to note that all of those can be
performed using a package such as shorewall? Teaching CLI for iptables
great and stuffs, but it's more Low-level than high Level. (as you put
it)
On your squid section, I believe that the FC3 startup scripts already
does the database/cache directories if it's not been initialiased
already so your squid -z would be moot.
start() {
for adir in $CACHE_SWAP; do
if [ ! -d $adir/00 ]; then
echo -n "init_cache_dir $adir... "
$SQUID -z -F -D >> /var/log/squid/squid.out 2>&1
On SSH,
normally I would comment out protocol 1,2 and only leave protocol 2
there. Protocol 1 is susceptible to MITM.
I guess that's it from me.
