[sclug] Bugzilla server

[Neil Owens]

Hi all

I've been tasked with getting an internet facing Bigzilla server on Redhat
up and running pronto(ish).  I've not put a Linux server on the web before
(I generally work with software from the Dark Side :-) and was wondering if
the server *needs* to be behind a firewall or not.  

And if I really do need a firewall, any advice on whether I'd be better off
with a 'free' software based one (IPCop, Smoothwall) or really splash out on
something like Firewall-1

Any thoughts appreciated.

Neil
