I'd like to mention, of course, that the toolkit is
not a commercial offering, is unsupported, requires expertise
to install, etc, etc. Since the toolkit is just a bunch of
policy-free components, it can be set up to be very secure,
but if not set up carefully, it could leave you open. TIS
includes a DISCLAIMER with the toolkit that we urge people
to read. [We don't want someone setting the toolkit up on
a firewall running NFS and blaming us. :)] For folks who
don't understand UNIX/network security, we'd rather see
them buy a firewall from our *competitors* than build a
firewall with the toolkit, get broken into, and complain. :)
So, while it's "free" it assumes you already have
some fairly expensive expertise already on your staff. If
so, then you're in good shape.
The toolkit is also not a commercial product. For
what it's worth, support, documentation, bug-fixes, and
integration make a big difference to some users.
mjr.
