The do have a security issue. The proposal deadline was July 1st, and
article submission deadline is Aug 1st. BUT, if someone could pollish
one off in a few days.... maybe, just maybe they would take it???
BTW, there was an article on "Building a Linux Firewall" in the June 1996
issue. The topics were:
* Reconfiguring the kernel for firewall capibilities
* PPP/SLIP (if nessicary)
* IP masquerading support
* adding/setting up ipfw
* settting firewall rules
* name server configuration
When I read this article, I really thought that FreeBSD should have been
the box of choice. Of course that requires someone that has built a FBSD
firewall to write the article...
