A usable firewall does three things:
Packet filter to allow/deny IP packages from different sources
Stateful Inspection to control the status of an connection
Application Layer Filer to filter malicious code from e-Mails, www, ftp and other services
Use "ipchains"
Use "iptables" (Kernel 2.4)
Use Squid for Proxy, SuSE's ftp-proxy, SMTPWDD, AVP and other tools Well, you may use AMaViS, qmail-scanner or MIMEDefanger for E-Mails or httpf, viromat for http. See http://lavp.sourceforge.net/av-linux_e.txt (the file name is somewhat misleading, I'm afraid ...).
What is SMTPWDD? Is it the smtp store-and-foward deamon from the Obtuse Firewall? best regards, Rainer Link -- Rainer Link, SuSE GmbH, eMail: link@suse.de, Web: www.suse.de Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (AMaViS): http://amavis.org/ Founder of Linux AntiVirus Project: http://lavp.sourceforge.net/
