I'm not sure what you're looking for. It's a good idea to have at least a good basic understanding about how a firewall works before you set one up. From there, you could look at tools like shorewall. There's also a GUI application the name of which I forgot which allows you to create firewalls. I found it surprisingly good. Fwbuilder? I still have a very good tutorial that uses iptables and helps you to learn how to build a firewall. I've archived it for reference in 2003. I could send it to you by email if you like (760kB). -- Hallowed are the Debians! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
