While I totally agree with your last sentence, the first one is at least misleading. iptables is no firewall. iptables is just a frontend which can control the way the packet filter in the 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels - called netfilter - behaves. I would say neither Shorewall et al nor Linux with iptables are firewalls - but you are able to build one up by using these tools. Or would you call a hammer, nails and a bunch of wood a house? ;) Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | new address - new key: 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) on Athlon kernel 2.6.9-1.6_FC2smp Serendipity 19:26:41 up 14 days, 21:10, load average: 0.27, 0.19, 0.18
