You're absolutely right. This is the approach which
<a href="http://www.smoothwall.org>smoothwall</a> uses: keep what's running on the firewall to a minimum.

Smoothwall is probably higher assurance and less vulnerable than Guarddog. Smoothwall is fine if you can support it yourself. If you can't, then you'll probably run into Richard Morrell or one of his minions. Freshmeat has some choice comments about Smoothwall support...even the paying customers get crapped on, while GPL users are beneath dirt.

If you just need to block portscans and script kiddie attacks, then Guarddog is sufficient for what you need. Simon on the other hand has been very helpful in the give and take with the KDE community. Thanks Simon!
