I just checked out IT guy setting up routes and firewall rules on its Win2003 servers - really have come a long way - nice GUI with click, dropdown of machines/people/groups (ala ActiveDir). Dont get me wrong, I never touch the stuff, but its getting really difficult to argue Linux firewall, routing, print and file servers to the Win IT guy - there is just not anything (that I know of) that comes close to the ease of use (setting up routes and firewall rules especially).
Can someone point me to something?
Have your IT guy look at Firewall Builder www.fwbuilder.org or SmoothWall www.smoothwall.org. Lots of my Windows friends run smoothwall and love it.

Thx, ye I know about these, but really go take a look at the new Win2003 firewall config builder - I think the OSS community should take note and impl something similar (cant be hard to do, fwbuilder can be made to look like it I think) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
