The busybox utility (www.busybox.net/)
provides a good set of basic shell tools.
Open a Web interface to Coyote Linux. From any Web browser on your LAN, you can
open the Coyote Linux Web Administrator interface by typing your firewall??™s IP address
and port 8180 (for example, http://192.168.0.1:8180).
The following section shows you how to create a Coyote Linux boot floppy firewall/router. Once
you have your Coyote Linux firewall up and running, you can change settings for that firewall from
another computer on your LAN using the Web browser or shell (SSH) interface to the computer. If
you are familiar with the shell and firewall features (described earlier in the chapter), there are a lot
of things such as routing, demand dialing, and using a DHCP service that you can do with this nice
little distribution.
For more information, refer to the Web site of Vortech Consulting, LLC (www.vortech
.net), which created the Coyote Linux project. Like many companies that support open
source software, it offers commercial products that relate to its open source project. If you want more
advanced products and support, you can consider purchasing its corporate and small-office firewall
products.
