Hi,
I was wondering how a linux box configured as a firewall stacked up
against some of the commercial products like checkpoint-1 and gauntlet.
Can someone direct me to a good book or online doc that compares linux
to some other firewall methods?
Mind you, I'm not talking about a firewall in the classical sense, ie
ip forwarding turned off and used as a proxy, but the typical Linux box
with masquerading and ipfwadm rules, ipautofw, etc. vs. CheckPoint or
whatever.
What are the differences in features, security, control,
administration, etc.
