[ale] firewalling

[Greg]

I just 
finished a transparent bridge (uses interfaces, not IP addresses) and ip with 
OpenBSD as the OS (nothing but ssh is running on installation).  I think 
Suse is installed with no services running on the Linux side.  Everything 
else installs with too much stuff turned on.  How -to's for OpenBSD and ip 
are :

If this is to 
be built as an appliance (with nothing else) then IPCop or SmoothWall can be 
used.
