I've been using redhat for a short time and have just gotten it working the way I want. And now that all that hard effort is dont (for now) I'd be very pissed if something happened. Note, I am backing up my system That aside my question is, is the defualt RedHat Firewall good?/good enuff? or should I just spend a few days reading up on ipchains/iptables and making my own? and one more quick one, Ive been reading up on snort and it seems pretty good, aswell as tripwire. If I ran boath at once would that be better or would one just cancle the other out? thanks in advance for _any_ input.
