Once you install and boot Coyote Linux, you can manage it from another computer
on your LAN. You can use a Web interface or log into it using ssh and manage Coyote Linux from
a Linux shell.
Coyote Linux contains an amazing set of features for such a small space. After booting the Coyote
Linux boot floppy you create, you have a firewall with which you can:
Route packets between your LAN and the Internet.
Provide network interfaces to Ethernet LAN (TCP or PPPoE) or dial-up (PPP) network
connections.
Create firewall rules supported by iptables. (It starts with a few basic rules, but you can
add your own rules to include IP Masquerading and NAT, port forwarding, transparent
proxies, or many other iptables features.)
Enable DHCP. Coyote Linux can act as a DHCP server, providing IP addresses and other
information to the computers on your LAN.
Log activities. In addition to creating logs of activities on the firewall, Coyote can be set to
pass those log files to another computer on your LAN.
Monitor network activities. There are a few basic administrative tools in Coyote Linux to
check out your network a bit. Those tools include traceroute and nslookup.
Log in remotely (ssh) and get around the shell. The sshd daemon in Coyote Linux lets you
log in from another computer on your LAN.
