Hi, I have installed Shorewall and tried to edit the configuration to my needs. I did this by apt-getting the package and then manually editing the various /etc/shorewall/ files. I more or less copied the sample configuration from the shorewall website.
I have no idea if my machine is now actually safer or less safe than before. I intend to do some reading on the basics, but just for now I would feel more secure if I knew my setup is reasonable. I have one pc using pppoe for a cable modem always on connection. I want to browse the web, do mail, download by ftp and apt and perhaps small things like accessing cddb or freedb. I guess the output from "shorewall status" would give an indication of the firewall setup. Would someone be willing to take a look at this output? If so, I will post a follow-up or send it directly. Or perhaps there is another way to do a basic check? Thanks, Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
