Nahhh, shouldn't make any difference. Besides, any program that sets a policy for an ipchains firewall is just feeding ipchains rules (accept, forward, deny, etc) to establish the firewall policy. Once that's been done you can use an ipchains command to save the policy to a file and pop it in your boot.local file without ever running the program again.
Hi.
I have read an article in amagazine about the GPL licence. There was a man, who said that a firewall sould be an commercial one, with the eye on security. As a package is under GPL licenced, all the source code is available to hackers too. If it is comercial, the source will be kept secret. Is this true?

Head on over to Tucows Linux and get yourself a copy of easychains & run it. It'll check your system (kernel, ipchains, etc) and verify everyting's set up right, then you can run 1 of 2 pre configured firewalls (a liberal and a "paranoid" setting). You may or may not want to stay with it but it's a great tool to use when setting up an ipchains packet filtering firewall. Also, the ipchains & firewall howto's are a great help.
