Topic: Firewall & dialup modems

[ed Form]

If I connect a modem directly to a serial port of an e-smith server, rather than through a router and second network card, does the system still provide any firewall facilities? I searched the forums and all the published material and haven't found an answer?

Yes it does through ppp0 interface.

Any idea where I can find a write up on this aspect of the system.

The firewall rules are stored in:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq

  You should use a templates-custom directory to change them
