Hello! My lanparty gateway is a Pentium 166 with 64MB RAM. It's running a firewall, DNS, DHCP, SSH and HTTP without any = problems...=20 The internet line is 640Kbps. (Should be better :) I have aproxmitly 20-40 users every month at the same time on my = private net. I think your computer will be enough. You should run IP Masquerade or somthing like that. Read a ipchains or iptables HOW-TO. Search in Google. Personly I use ipchains but I'm planning to upgrade to iptables. DNS: bind www.isc.org DHCP: dhcp www.isc.org HTTP: Apache www.apache.org Installing with SSL http://kecon.najt.nu/instapache.php SSH: www.openssh.org Firewall: iptables (www.iptables.org) or ipchains About 4. It's allways better to use a dedicated firewall, but the = choice is yours ;-) / Kenny http://www.najt.nu/ -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr=E5n: listadmin@linuxsecurity.com [mailto:listadmin@linuxsecurity.com]F=F6r Linux Newbie Skickat: den 20 mars 2002 09:43 Till: Linux Security Mailing List =C4mne: Securing Small Home Network Hello Linux security experts, Please forgive me if my first questions to this list are very newbie to = you. I'm still a newbie in Linux and I want to learn Linux security = especially in implementing it to my small home network. I would like to ask your suggestions, recommendations and how-to's if possible. And my = questions are: 1. Is it okay to put up a firewall, router and proxy servers/packages, = all in one computer (Intel Pentium 166 @ 32 MB RAM)? 2. Can you give me your recommended packages and what's their = individual use, for this kind of setup? 3. If possible, can you give your "how-to's" in setting up this kind of setup? 4. Last but not the least, I'm using a dial-up connection in connecting = to the Internet of all my 3 workstations and 1 main server. If I will put = an additional dedicated secure Linux server box which I mentioned in my = first question above, where will I physically connect my telephone connection = and to connect to the Internet? Is it in my main server or the new = dedicated secure Linux server box? Thank you in advance. God bless you all... Just a newbie... __________________________________ www.edsamail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------= To unsubscribe email security-discuss-request@linuxsecurity.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe email security-discuss-request@linuxsecurity.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
