smoothwall

[Fritz Mesedilla]

Hello folks!

Has anyone tried smoothwall?
I have become tired of making samba work and still it won't work so now I am resorting to using a "pre-built" iptables firewall.
At least it is GUI-based. :D

I've always wanted to make my own firewall bash script.
If I can make smoothwall and samba to work properly then perhaps I can use the firewall script it generates to make my own, right?

So can anyone advice me on this one?

Thanks.

..needs its own box, if your ok with that, chk out ipcop.org.

..also possible to set up a basic debian with 2.4.18 (bf24) and 
rip out ipchains and install shorewall.net and webmin.com,
do 'apt-get remove --purge ipchains ; apt-get update ; apt-get \
upgrade ; apt-get install shorewall webmin ', then go into webmin's
update menu to update webmin to 1.110 or whatever it is now, 
then go into webmin's shorewall menu.  ;-)
