Running a Gopher Server

Similar to the public web service, you can provide gopher databases which are accessible to any internal or external host. The data to be served should be kept in the /usr/local/gopher-data directory.

Run Public Gopher Server

If set to YES, then a publicly accessible gopher service will be run on the firewall on port 70. This can be simply a relay to some other host on the internal network or in the DMZ, or it can be be a gopher server on the firewall itself (in which case the server will run chrooted to the /usr/local directory).

Host

If the public gopher service is simply a relay, then the IP address of the real server should be entered here. If a gopher server is to be run on the firewall itself then this field should be left blank.

Street Address

The street address that the gopher server should report for your site, if any.

Geographical Location

The geographical location (longitude and latitude) of your site (for example, 27 30 00 E 30 15 00 S).
