To acheive true privacy you'd need separate ethernet interfaces.


But you could get most of the way there by just putting a cheap switch between the users and the network. At least then they can't see each other's traffic.


True. And cheap switches are super cheap.

I used Smoothwall intially but it's just a basic firewall/router. It doesn't have any of servers like mail and web like ClarkConnect.



The guys at Smoothwall would of course point out that the lack of mail/webservers on their firewall is in fact a feature


Yeah I know and that was one of the issues I had. The majority of distros are aimed squarely at firewall/routing functions only. The correct thing to do is run the servers behind the firewall. However for a home situation, I could't justify running two separate machines. Security wasn't that much of a concern for me. And it's been up for about 2 years and hasn't been hacked yet.
