“E-business company Solsoft Thursday rolled out security
software for Linux. Dubbed Solsoft NP-Lite, the software will be
included with the Linux-Mandrake Power Pack or Deluxe 7.1 operating
system, although it works with other Linux distributions.”
“Solsoft NP-Lite lets system administrators establish
policies for Linux firewalls and filter up to 130 protocols. It can
be configured to work with up to three filtering devices and also
works with the commonly used Linux IP Firewall release 2.0.x and
Linux IP Chains release 2.2.x. IP Chains is the default Linux
firewall product.”
“NP-Lite is a subset of Solsoft NP software that lets the system
administrator implement Access Control Lists (ACL) on network
routers, firewalls and Layer 3 switches. … Solsoft NP integrates
with HP OpenView and works with equipment from Cisco, Nortel and
3Com, among others. It supports Windows, Unix, AIX and Linux.”
