[Eug-lug] Server error as of 08:23:00, 07/28/06

[Jay]

MIKE, et al,
Sorry for the delayed response, but this all affirms two of the most
important goals/directions of the EUGLUG; the mailing list and the in-person
communication!

Thanks to all so far, as I said no hurry.

I probably will try Smoothwall, and maybe freesco or both, which is what I
thought in the first place (way back).

I have noticed the wireless router/etc. capabilities are becoming awesome, I
suppose, but that would defeat my principle goal (I believe): "TO LEARN THE
HARD WAY (well not too hard) and USE WHAT I GOT". Time is NOT a pressing
issue.

I do sincerely appreciate every ones input thus far. I have a lot to learn.

SECONDLY: See ya all Thursday, I hope.
 
Thanks JAY

Jay,
	If you wanted to get started, you might look into a distribution
like
IPcop, Devil Linux, or the Linux router Project.  All of which were
started with this sort of thing in mind.  Some tutorials can be found
on:
http://librenix.com/?inode=2612
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/115959/65/
http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/resources/howtos/iptables-tutorial/
http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/12/15/177232

But basically, the tools you will be using are: IPtables (for firewall)
and route (or "ip route" on newer systems). Important things to decide
early are:
	Do I want to do DNS Masquerading? 
	Do i need a DMZ?
	What ports do I want to block Outbound as well as inbound ports?
	Will this machine serve as a DHCP server?

If you need a hand with these decisions or anything else, you are
welcome at our next Clinic, this thursday.  Or mail the list.

I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the
logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to
underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to
exaggerate one's own powers. --- "Sherlock Holmes"
