Re: Create a canned 'Firewall Build' or RFHH

[Don Cooley <dcooley_(_at_)_panicdump_(_dot_)_org>]

To all,
Sorry about the long "Wellogix" Legality .sig
I accidently posted from my work email. (Too many things going at once.)

Won't happen again.

Also, I apologize for the "flame comment" Canned firewalls are for
Pansies. I am just frustrated with getting 20 emails a day with the
comment "Yeah! OpenBSD firewalls should be brain dead easy..."

I am a bad netizen, I let my emotions get the best of me......

The OpenBSD coders have busted their humps to produce the BEST
free/secure
Unix system out there. And all people can do is complain that it is
too hard. (I am NOT an OpenBSD guru. I have been using
OpenBSD for 1+ years.)

Running a firewall without KNOWING what it is doing flies in the face of

"security". How can you be "secure" if you have no idea what is going
on?

BTW

Thanks to "Alex Holst"<a_(_at_)_Area51_(_dot_)_DK> for emailing my employer and asking
them
to "Please ask your employee to behave."
Alex, I am not writing this email because they want me to "apologize"
either.
My employer likes me and trusts my opinion....
If you have a problem with me you can contact me directly...

Again, sorry all for the book. Rather than get frustrated with people
and post
something stupid I will just ignore the list for a while...
