| m0n0wall计划的目标是创建一份完整的、内置的防火墙软件包，当它配合PC使用时，能够提供商用防火墙机器的所有重要功能（连同易用性在内），而其
价钱却只是后者的一小部分（因为m0n0wall是自由软件）。m0n0wall基于FreeBSD的一个精简版本，并带有一个web服务器
（thttpd）、PHP以及其他一些实用工具。整套系统配置存储于单个的XML文本文件以对系统透明。m0n0wall很可能是首个拥有用PHP实现的
启动配置的UNIX系统，而通常这是依靠shell脚本的，此外，它把整个系统配置都用XML格式存储。 A new beta release of m0n0wall 1.3 was announced yesterday. The development changelog of the FreeBSD-based mini firewall lists the following improvements: "Added siproxd for transparent SIP proxying and masquerading and simple registrar service; added vr(4) driver VLAN fix (for ALIX, etc.); sisX interface names are now automatically changed to vrX when running on ALIX; added reset button driver for ALIX; upgraded ipfilter to 4.1.23; fixed FIN handling in ipnat FTP proxy; changed logo, license and footer to include registered trademark sign. m0n0wall 1.3b is based on FreeBSD 6.x and has better hardware support than the FreeBSD 4.x-based versions (up to version 1.23), as well as a few new features. However, it also has higher hardware requirements." Interested beta testers can download the CD image from here: cdrom-1.3b5.iso (8.3MB, MD5). |
