SuSE Live CD for Firewall

The Live CD for the SuSE Firewall on CD is the executable part of the ﬁre-

wall. It is a minimal SuSE Linux, designed with security criteria in mind.

This affects the programs available and the kernel itself. The SuSE Firewall

on CD is an “Application Level Gateway”, meaning that, for security reasons,

there should be no routing of IP packets. Forwarding requests to services is

handled by applications (proxies).
