Hello, I have recently put together a few computers and loaded SuSE Linix 6.3 (Kernal 2.2.13) onto them. One will be connected between the ADSL line and either a hub or a switch and act as a firewall/proxy/DCHP server. The others will provide the various internet sevices on the LAN such as mail, news, telent, ftp, http, gopher, wais, archie, dns, etc. My question is that I want to use a 486DX2/66VLB as a logging computer to provide tamper proof logging. How do I redirect the logs from the other computers to this one, and how do I get this computer setup to recieve them and write them to the disk? Also, if the firewall machine get's cracked, how do I keep the individual from attacking the other computers on the LAN? Dan.

The way it was explained to me was to setup two firewall machines. The outside one connects to the internet and can only connect to the inside firewall machine. The inside firewall machine connects to the hub [or whatever] and the internal net. This way if they crack the outside machine they then need to crack the internal one. Hopefully you will notice before that. OTOH you can just be very paranoid about the one firewall machine and likely never have any problems.
