Topic:

Firewalls, filtering, and NAT.

Presented by Philip Brown  (me!)

This is a followup to our earlier program, doing filtering with SunScreen.

This time around, we'll touch on how to do filtering and NAT with
ipfilter and ipchains.

ipchains works only with linux.
ipfilter works with basically "any UNIX except linux"

I'll also try to go more in detail about other paranoia for firewall machines.
So this will be an abbreviated "build your own firewall" session.

Folks are encouraged to bring either their own ipchains/ipfilter rules,
or a description of a network they'd like to firewall.


***PLEASE BE ON TIME***

UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or professionally, or 
interested in learning more about UNIX. We recognize all varieties of UNIX, 
including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, and 
BSD. This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden 
your skills and knowledge.

There are no dues or other membership requirements. More than 100 persons 
receive our monthly email newsletter. Meeting attendance varies to as high 
as 40. Volunteers manage the club and more volunteers are always needed.

Los Angeles County Chapter meetings are held the first Thursday of each 
month from 7 to 9:30 pm ( or whenever we feel like stopping ). Generally, 
meetings include a technical presentation on a hardware or software topic of 
current interest to the UNIX community and a round-table discussion of 
current topics of interest to the group. UUASC-LA needs future topic 
suggestions (and volunteers)!!
