Does anyone know if there is an X proxy service available. We are trying to
build a firewall utilizing public dommain products. Most of our needs can be
met via FWTK with minimal changes to the code & IP forwarding turned off.
Our dilema is the fact that we must monitor remote systems via a vendor specific
non client/server application. We basically have to export the display back
to our internal net to monitor the remote systems. This is an interim solution
till we can build SNMP agents to accomplish the same tasks that the vendors
software can.
Bottom line, we need to allow X through the firewall, and I dont want to try
to duplicate work if it has already been done by someone else.
We realize the security risks involved, but it is a business requirement,
and we do not have the $$$ to utilize 3rd party software/hardware. I know
all of the retoric about costs vs. security, because I have been trying to
sell my management on the need for security, and the risks involved if we
ignore it. But again this is an interim solution till 4th quarter of this
year.
