Hi all,

    At the risk of appearing ill informed, I have a few questions. 
Please realize that I came into the Unix world from Linux, not the other 
way around.

    I inherited a RaQ2 and understood full well that security wise I 
would not be able to expose it to the internet without a great deal of 
maintenance headache. Thus I opted to use it for an internal proxy 
server with the stock CacheRaQ rescue disk.

    As I've been researching things, I've found these RaQ2 appliances 
perfect for some small operations on my edge network. However, with the 
lack of a fully maintained stable branch from a Linux distro, and the 
unwillingness (this week) to make my own port, my little RaQ is 
relegated to proxy status.

    I have gone through the NetBSD install and done some configuration 
of the box, but found myself with some questions.

    Perhaps someone can point me to answers for the following:

    1. I'm unclear as to what tools are available for maintaining an 
installed system. I'm looking for some concise documentation.

    2. Firewalling? I usually write firewall rules for my Linux boxes. 
Are there any examples for NetBSD?

    The main issues I'm trying to assess here are whether it's worth it 
time wise to deploy NetBSD on a few RaQ2 systems for stealthed 
nameservers and perhaps a tertiary MX. In my particular situation it may 
not make sense time wise as a mini-isp. Thus a pointer to tools and or 
examples would be helpful. Book suggestions would be helpful as well.

    I thank you in advance for any comments.

    Michael
