PhxBUG - Phoenix BSD User Group

After starting the Capital Area BSD Users Group, founders Mike Erdely and Jason Dixon realized that other BUGs could benefit from the pooled resource and information sharing of user groups world-wide. They discussed their ideas with Darren Spruell and Darrin Chandler of the Phoenix BUG, and the MetaBUG began to take shape.

The third and final article by Daniel Hartmeier, entitled PF: Firewall Management, has been posted to undeadly. A must-read series!

Daniel Hartmeier won't keep you waiting for more. He's already published the second PF installment entitled PF: Testing Your Firewall.

The second chapter, in a series of three, is about troubleshooting PF. Instead of just providing the common symptoms-to-solutions table, it tries to present a systematic procedure for problem analysis. The way is the goal. ;)

Daniel Hartmeier has posted the first of three articles entitled PF: Firewall Ruleset Optimization to undeadly. These are in-depth articles by the original author of PF. Good stuff!

Jeremy Reed's PF book is now available! Here's a short review by Dru Lavigne. From Dru's review it sounds like a great book with lots of practical information. This won't come as a surprise to any of you on the PhxBUG mailing list.

Book details and ordering info can be found on Reed Media Services PF Book page.
