[KLUG Members] m0n0wall firewall

[Mike Morrett]

I *assume* everone on the planet (except me) has heard of this
firewall: http://m0n0.ch/wall/

"m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded
firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded
PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall
boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free
software).

m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a
web server (thttpd), PHP and a few other utilities. The entire
system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep
things transparent.

m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time
configuration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts,
and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML
format."

And all D/Ls are less than 5MB!

P.S. They also have http://m0n0.ch/bsd/
"m0n0BSD is a version of FreeBSD that has been stripped down to fit
on a Compact Flash card..."
