>"man" is your friend, google is your library index. Gentelmen, Sorry if I ran into the Big Boys forum crying. I will be more cautious about what I ask next time. Is there a forum for people who are starting out with OpenBSD? The thing is I am new to it and I am in a situation where reading pages and pages of Google is taking a lot of time away from making it work. But just working a few days with this OS I can see that its very solid and worth the many hours of searching for documentation. >I'm a bit worried about this term "publicly accessible firewall", >it's a contradiction in terms. Firewalls should be nearly invisible, >certainly not public ally accessible. I meant that one of the interfaces was routable on the Internet, not sitting at a table in Starbucks. And your right I try and keep it as invisable as possible. >Perl and the enormous number of modules available for Perl are >tools that can be used on firewalls for administration and although >"bare bones" is a good way to build a firewall (from general >principles), you do need certain tools to manage it. Perl is >one tool that I would miss greatly if it were removed. I cant wait to get perl working for me. It sounds wonderful. Time....time. >Having said that, it's good that you are cautious :-) Thanks Dave.
