Operating Systems Linux Fedora Which flavor of UNIX or Linux to learn? Post 302883793 by Neo on Thursday 16th of January 2014 04:51:52 AM

This question is too subjective. Everyone has their own experience, their own reasons for liking or disliking something. It's not really a nice question to ask people "which linux is worth learning"? To answer this question would be like talking bad about certain distributions, which is subjective (and also against our forum rules).

We do have a poll (which you would have found if you search the forums) on which linux distribution is the most widely used by forum members.

Maybe you could try to follow our forum rules and guidelines? You should search the forums before asking a question; and you should not post in ways which can cause subjective debates about one unix or linux over another.

NAME
mason - interactively create a firewall SYNOPSIS
mason < logfile > rulefile DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the mason command. mason interactively generates a set of firewall rules for a Linux-based firewall. This is done by turning on full IP logging, watching the logs for connections, and generating rules describing the connections seen. mason is familiar with most of the quirks of various connec- tion types (such as ftp and IRC), and can output rules for 2.0.x ipfwadm, 2.2.x ipchains, and Cisco packet filters. mason operates by reading in log file information from standard input and writing firewall rules to standard output. This allows mason to work offline or on a separate system. Real-time firewall generation can be achieved with a command like tail(1). Most users will want to run mason with a user-friendly interface such as mason-gui-text(1). ENVIRONMENT
mason is configured using the following environment variables. ECHOCOMMAND Sets the type of firewall rules that mason should output to standard out. Allowed values include "ipfwadm" and "ipchains". By default, mason outputs whatever kind of rules are supported by the currently running Linux kernel. DOCOMMAND Sets the type of firewall rules that mason should run immediately when a rule is generated. Allowed values include "ipfwadm" and "ipchains". By default, mason outputs whatever kind of rules are supported by the currently running Linux kernel. HEARTBEAT If set to "yes", mason will output a "+" or "-" to standard error whenever a rule generated by mason has been triggered. DYNIP Set this to the list of interfaces that have dynamically assigned addresses, separated by spaces. SEE ALSO
