Wrap a Security Blanket Around Your Computer

	TCP_wrappers: a simple, elegant and effective means to
	safeguard your network services.

	by Lee E. Brotzman 

Designing a Safe Network Using Firewalls

	It is by no means necessary to purchase specialized firewall
	hardware or even software. A Linux server<\#151>running on a
	$400 386 PC<\#151>provides as much protection as most commercial
	firewalls, with much greater flexibility and easier configuration.

	by Paul Wouters 

TCFS: Transparent Cryptographic File System

	Think of TCFS as an extended NFS. It acts just like NFS, but
	allows a user to protect files using encryption.

	by Ermelindo Mauriello 

Tripping up Intruders with Tripwire

	You can ensure the security of your Linux machine with this

Linux Journal is carried by some newsstands (including all Computer
Literacy stores in Silicon Valley) and is delivered to newsstands
by a newsstand distributor.  If you know a place that sells magazines
that you feel should stock LJ, send e-mail to dist@ssc.com or have them
call SSC at 206-782-7733.  Getting LJ on newsstands is one of the best
ways we can show the non-Internet crowd that Linux is for real.
