Not at all. Do yourself a favor, tho, and get the newer versions available
from http://leaf.sourceforge.net. (LEAF = Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall,
an actively maintained derivative of LRP). They come with preset firewalling
scripts, and with NIC modules - standard LRP doesn't.
Use the EigerStein image - it literally took me 5 minutes to setup. There's
also version available with PPPoE support, too.
