Hi All, for anyone who gets security-focus you will have seen this - for others it may be of use. If you're having phun getting your firewalling working or making sure you have a sensible ruleset(s) then this should give you some extra input/fff. Cheers Earl

Hi again, folks!

After some delay, and a bit of wrangling to get them up, the firewall rulesets contributed by Focus-Linux members are now available!

For anybody that's forgotten, a few months ago we had a discussion about firewall rulesets. During that time, a number of members contributed their firewall rulesets to the list for the benefit of everybody. These folks were so kind as to give me their permission to post them in the Focus Area for everybody's browsing, analysis, and use. They're now available in the Unix Focus Area.

I'd like to personally thank Ross Vandegrift, Jem Berkes, Matthew Sachs, skylinux, vogt, and dewt for all taking time out of their busy schedules to share with us all. Thanks guys. You rock!

The UNIX Focus Area can be accessed at http://www.securityfocus.com/unix.

The firewall rulesets are at URL http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/unix_topics.pl?topic=fwrules.
