[gentoo-user] firewall on a cd

[gentoo-user] firewall on a cd

[Jamers]

Hello,

I've built several gentoo based firewall and have been pretty
happy with them. Since I use older hardware, the eventual 
hard drive failures are a problem.

I am looking for input as to the best method to use to get
a gentoo based (iptables) firewall onto a bootable CD,
so I do not have to rely on hard drives any more.
a USB stick based gentoo firewall (micro) distro
would also be of interest.


Any suggestions?



James

This could be done without too much trouble by creating a custom gentoo
livecd. I'm interested in this as well, for the same reasons. I have
quite a bit of old boxes lying around that would serve as good
firewalls, but I'm running out of HDDs. You can reply to me privately if
you like, and we could work on this together, make a little project out
of it. Let me know if you'd like to do this.

Thanks,
Karl Haines

If you want Gentoo, have a look at GNAP and catalyst.

Redwall is Gentoo - somebody else has done all the catalyst stuff. ;)

Redwall look very quick to set up. I'm going to 
give it a whirl and see if it works for my (4) card machine.

Gnap is what I'll use if this redwall does not work out...

Thanks for the tips!

I was checking out GNAP's homepage:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/gnap.xml

And i noticed it uses boa as it's webserver. Now that boa is hard-masked, you might get into a
couple of issues when trying it. Just a heads up, but I'm sure the gnap people will work around this
asap.
