The kernel does the firewalling, and its configuration is done with shell scripts and IPTABLES. However, most people use a program that sets it up for them which is easier to follow. I suggest you install the shorewall-doc package and read its documentation. Then install the shorewall package and use it. Configuration is straight forward for simple configurations. Complex stuff is more complex. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
