[olug] Smoothwall questions.

You might want to look into Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall (LEAF)
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/

It is actively developed and has support for Static and Dynamic IP
addresses.

Subject: [olug] Smoothwall questions.


At the request of PC Support in Elkhorn, I've been trying to look into
the SmoothWall linux  implementation    It''s a linux based firewall
router and the company is apparently based in the UK. They have two
implementations, GPL and proprietary. They support the proprietary and
have a community support the GPL.

So far what I've come up with on the GPL version is that it doesn't have
dhcp client support which makes  it worthless as far as I'm concerned. I
think there's a way to add it. in but this kind of defeats the purpose
of easy setup That is problematic for the folks at PC Support as they
are not Linux knowledgeable.

PC Support is wanting to be able to put this on some of their older
machines (P75s and the like.) and be able to sell them as cheap firewall
/ routers

My question for you folks: is there a way that makes sense for them
(with out too much hassle) to add in dhcp client support?

Thanks!
