Linksys firewall is the main line of defense: only let http and ssh through, and only to one machine in the internal network. All other machines are not accessible from outside the firewall. Just for extra safety, turn off all non used services (they were off anyway).
I don't like the idea of using a non-SuSE kernel, or external security software, since I'm very particular about keeping the system stock.
How does the last paragrapth square with the first? If you don't like the idea of non-suse or external security why trust Linksys? Who audits their code? What can you do with linksys that you can not do with a mimimal suse box with two nics and suse firewall or shorewall (either of which ONLY set up iptables for you) on a stock suse kernal. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
