[olug] Smoothwall questions.

[Don Kauffman]

At the request of PC Support in Elkhorn, I've been trying to look into 
the SmoothWall linux  implementation    It''s a linux based firewall 
router and the company is apparently based in the UK. They have two 
implementations, GPL and proprietary. They support the proprietary and 
have a community support the GPL.

So far what I've come up with on the GPL version is that it doesn't have 
dhcp client support which makes  it worthless as far as I'm concerned. I 
think there's a way to add it. in but this kind of defeats the purpose 
of easy setup That is problematic for the folks at PC Support as they 
are not Linux knowledgeable.

PC Support is wanting to be able to put this on some of their older 
machines (P75s and the like.) and be able to sell them as cheap firewall 
/ routers

My question for you folks: is there a way that makes sense for them 
(with out too much hassle) to add in dhcp client support?

Thanks!
