[dd]To have a full-featured firewall, you almost definitely need this when it is finished, fwtk with the transproxy patch,btw i don't think transproxy patch is a mandatory thing for a full-featured firewall. Actually when i ask someone: do you _really_ need this,the answer (usually) is "Hmm.. not a bad thing but i can't say i _need_ it" ;).
Partly agreed. Transparency is not mandatory. But if your users are accustomed to it, it is hard to be without.
I also thought about content filtering in the way mimesweeper does. Given the current set of conversion tools, I think that a Linux equipped with them and a dosemu to run foreign virus scanners is a very good platform to implement it.btw do you know that McAfee viruscan runs on Unices?
Yes, but it is only one virus scanner.
I thinked about virus scan on a firewall.. Not so useful and too easy to bypass (IMHO).
Agreed. I think it is too big a task to do on the firewall, it is better done on the cache machine and/or the mailhub. It is not useful without virus management on the desktops. It is easy to bypass, but hopefully catches those silly word macro viruses. --- GNU GPL: csak tiszta forrásból
