Is tis a preferred firewall...? I have been using ipfw, but I find many people are using different firewall solutions. We had a preference for firewall-1, but Checkpoint the comapany that writes it doesn't support it when used on freebsd. I was hoping to hear what other use for a firewall, and what they based their decision on.. Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Leo Kliger <leo@astea.com.au> To: Schmitt, Clifton O.
