How to configure firewall in my web server ? - The FreeBSD Handbook has several sections devoted to firewalls and their configuration. - The archives of this mailing list have dozens of suggestions for firewall setups. - The articles at O'Reilly's OnLamp site have even more firewall setup examples. You can find a lot of material online. Just start looking at pages like: http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/13 http://ezine.daemonnews.org/ > Must I download kernel source and recompile ? Nope. > If I must download kernel source, where I can found it ? The sources for the FreeBSD base system are in /usr/src. The kernel is under /usr/src/sys. The Handbook contains detailed instructions about rebuilding everything from source. > I'm using freebsd 5.1-RELEASE. Thanks. That's a very old and experimental release of the 5.X branch. You should really consider upgrading to (or reinstalling with) a more recent 5.X release. 5.3-RELEASE is teh latest release that is available on the mirrors right now, and if you can wait a few days, 5.4-RELEASE is scheduled to be out sometime during the first days of April. - Giorgos
