Yer not the only one. this thing is my firewall/gateway/router, also DNS and DHCP, and is quite reasonably hardened. yes, ipchains is starting to get stinky, but it works. it started life as RHL 6.0, but got upgraded, and now has an bastard mix of stuff on it. It started life as a pentium-1 100Mhz, but that got upgraded to this 450Mhz when it was still a email server and the 100 couldn't keep up with the spam filtering.
