I've been following developements on Smoothwall for a while now on the one
of the Linux newsgroups. It seems that the developer is a bit of an idiot
and has upset a lot of ppl who where trying to fix (what seems like) a lot
of holes in Smoothwall. From what's been said Smoothwall looks a bit
dangerous to use as frontline defense, unless you really know what you're
doing and can fix/set it up properly.

Just my 2p.

PS. What makes you says ZA is kak?
