Sean Akers@ROMAX 23/10/2000 14:07 Go to www.pmfirewall.com and download PM Firewall. It is a shell script which asks questions about how you want firewalling/masquerading set up and generates all the appropriate ipchains stuff for you. It can even be set to start up automatically. It's very good. I've been using it on my SuSE 6.4 setup for a few months now with no problems. Hope this helps.

It's certainly comprehensive, but it does have a problem. My ISP chucks me off after 2 hours (regardless of what I'm doing). No real problem, I have kppp set to reconnect on disconnection. Thing is, when this happens, the firewall stuff set up by pmfirewall blocks everything. I have to manually take down the firewall then rerun the script. I never did figure out why. Something to do with the ppp0 interface disappearing then reappearing I suppose.

You can solve this by putting /usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall restart in your ip-up script. I'm using this at work with our ISDN dial-up with no trouble. Sean *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 24/10/2000 at 08:45 Derek Fountain wrote:
