[PLUG] MandrakeSecurity Single Network Firewall question...
|
</lurk>
Has anyone used Mandrake's Secure Firewall installation before (seems
based on Mandrake 6.2)? Or would I be better starting with a fresh
Mandrake copy and use Bastille-Linux on it? (One thing about the
Firewall build is it also includes bastille-linux). Or, would I be yet
better off starting with a fresh pick-yer-own-distro firewall? If so,
what kernel, 2.2 or 2.4? I know firewalling changes (ipchains is gone,
then again when I last did firewalling, it was a 2.0 kernel and things
were still different)
The reason I was leaning towards Mandrake is Bastille is built for it.
I preffer SuSE, but am open to any distro if there is an argument for it
making a better firewall/router.
(The install I am going to be for is a three-subnet firewall/router.
One subnet is an App/Mail/FTP DMZ with firewalled but routable IP's.
The second is a masqueraded, DHCP'd (but the server need not provide
this) user subnet (plug n go). The third is my measely 144K ADSL modem
(damned mixed mode cabling in exton).)
Senkyoo all.
