e-Smith

[Tom Achtenberg]

OK,I d/l and burned 5.0 and installed it.  Installation went very smooth once 
I junked my 3Com 3c509's and got a couple of cheapie 10/100 PCI NIC's.  Im 
behind it right now with priviate IP's on all but the gateway box.  It gets 
the dhcp from Qwest and is the dhcp for the private network.  

Only thing I'm not clear on is if this is aalso a fire wall.  Is it safe to 
turn off the individual fire walls on the local machines?  Is there any 
configuration  need to do on this?
