just looking at the FAQ for smoothwall is pretty scary. "If you
ask something covered in the docs somewhere (even in the CVS version),
we'll get you. We'll get your family and kidnap them, torture them and
make them suffer a slow death"

Out of interest, are there any other alternatives to smoothwall:
e-smith? Mandrake firewall-thingy-server?
Suse-whatever-firewally-server-thingy?
e-smith looks fairly impressive, it has to be said (cool java
applet demo as well :D)
