[FOLLOW UP ] SUMMARY: Firewall on a single Tru64 UNIX box

Hi Tru64 folk,

above is the subject I've found in the archives, and this is exactly the
same as the question I wanted to ask. This summary, a copy of which is
quoted beneath, was posted 24 Jan 2001 by Jose Antonio Puga Facal. As
follows from its text, with 4.0D, I have no opportunity to create my own
firewall on the box. The only hope is that for these four years there has
appeared something new, appropriate for the case. I'm familiar with
ipchains (on LINUX) and very interested in something like that. By the way,
the link in the text concerning Tru64 does not exist any more...

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you,
Irene

Hi managers:

    First of all, thank you to: (in order of appearance ;-)

           Brian Schau
           Nikola Milutinovic
           Thomas Leitner

    The question:

        "I want to protect a single Tru64 Unix box with a firewall like
        IPchains on Linux, which allows me to filter IP traffic.
        Do you know any public firewall which runs on Tru64 Unix
        to do this?"

    The answer:

        The new version 4 (currently in beta)
        of IP Filter is supported on Tru64 5.x AFAIK. See:

            http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html

        Unfortunately, it isn't supported on Tru64 4.0f
