Eric Leblond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: NuFW System name: nufw Type: non-GNU Description: NuFW is designed to be an "authenticating gateway". This means it will require authentication for any connection to be forwarded through the gateway. It requires a "client/server" model and an authentication program on every client. That will provide authentication for ANY protocol as long as its TCP/IP. It lays on any good connection tracking IP filtering code (or it will). For now our first implementation will run on Netfilter, the filtering package from Linux 2.4. Any [legitimate] user of a network will be referenced in a "database" (probably an LDAP tree), as well as their access rights. It will be gateway's work to check any packet that is accepted through the gateway is bound to an authentified user, and that this user has the rights for that access at that time. Sources : http://www.gnufw.org/download/nufw.tar.gz Other Software Required: glib-2.0 libipq netfilter openldap Other Comments: The project was originaly named gnufw. To avoid confusion has it is not part of the GNU project, it will be renamed Nufw when importing sources into the savannah CVS. For the moment, the source keep trace of the previous name. _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
