well i am not that experienced in IPMASQ but i know that you want ipfwadm -F -p deny as your default policy because otherwise other people can get in and make it look like you are doing what they are doing.. then what you do is use other options with the ipfwadm to allow certain addresses on your netowrk. if i am wrong about this someone please respond .. i need to know .. and i dont need ppl blaming me with things i wasnt shure of .. thanx Dave On Mon, 17 Aug 1998, Paul Brun wrote:

From your experience using Linux, if I were to use the following

Hello all, policy for IP forwarding:

ipfwadm -F -p masquerade

What would I open myself too? How easy would it be for someone to get into my system with that policy? Any information would be greatful. Thanks. Paul
