IPV6 opens more security issues than most people think. Firewalls are going to be even more important. +1
Firewalls are always important when connected to the Internet. Regardless the same principles apply whether IPv4 or IPv6. However, John Anderson seems to confuse the firewall function with the NAT function. They are not the same thing as they have different purposes. One is a necessary function for network security, the other is a hack to get around the address shortage. Not the same thing at all.
Keep digging James. If you knew anything about it other then what you read on half of a wiki page you would realize that NAT is a Router and a firewall. At the bottom of that deep pile you fail to understand its all iptables or PacketFilter. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
