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. | | DSL modem | 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.
