IPX & Firewall

Purdy on 2002-04-22T14:19:49

Today is firewall day. I got the LFS system (ain't it cool to do a 'ps -auxw' and see only 16 jobs running? ;)) running on a box and it's currently acting as my router for my workstation. It's got SSH & DHCP installed & running, too. Ipchains is also installed and I'm figuring out how to get it to work, to protect my workstation (and after it's ready for deployment, the internal LAN), all while allowing the internal traffic to be forwarded/NAT'd out and setting up a VPN for priviledged employees @ home.

I also need to figure out how to get IPX (Novell NetWare) supported - right now, there's Greg Page's IPX tools, but they are old and not compiling on the LFS system. I'm gonna try & see if I can get binaries & see if those work.
