Meeting Topic: "Linux Security: A Firewall HOWTO" Presented by: Robert Luoma [luoma at bcs.org] If you use Linux on the Internet, you have the good fortune of being able to connect to the world's greatest communication & information exchange with one of the best Operating Systems around. But, how secure is your connection? Join us this month to learn how to erect a firewall to make your firm's connection more secure from the efforts of computer crackers. This month, Robert Luoma will show you how to set up a "firewall" gateway, using a single computer equipped with firewall and security software as your Internet connection for your network. Who: Boston Computer Society Linux/Unix User's Group Date: 15 May 1996, Wednesday Time: 7:00 pm. Place: MIT, Building 4, Room 163 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >>> Get current directions & a map by visting our web page: >>> >>> http://www.bcs.org/Groups/linux/linux.html Linux is a UNIX-like operating system built around POSIX standards. From its inception less than five years ago, it was developed over the Internet by a group of people who (for the most part) have never seen each other, and now runs on an (estimated) 1,000,000 computer systems. The operating system (and the source code for it) is free to anyone who wants it. This is probably the largest development project ever accomplished using the Internet.
