I am glad to see discussion about  system security because I am just 
considering to build a small LAN.
Currently, I use a DSL connection with a SMC Barricade router in front of my 
RedHat 7.2 box. SMC advertised Barricade as a router that has an effective 
built-in firewall. 

I do not plan to connect the rest of the computers to the SMC router, but to 
a separate switch, through a second ethernet card on the RedHat box.

                 SMC Barricade router
                      |
                      |
                    eth0          
               RedHat 7.2 box
                          eth1
                             |
                         switch
                            ||| 
                         other computers
                             

 
Could somebody please tell me how reliable the  SMC Barricade is, and suggest 
what other protection(s) I should Iconsider. 


I never had to consider security issues before, therefore I would also 
appreciate if you could point me to some good tutorials.
