Phill, I found this ipfilter howto http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.html to be useful. If you want to go with ipcahins I would recommend reading Linux Firewalls by Robert L. Ziegler. It's focus is 2.2.x with ipchains so it doesn't cover IPtables, but explains firewalling in detail, and give you good examples.
His website is here, and he has a nice little tool online that will write an ipchains script for you. I tried it so I could have a working example. http://www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html Chris Phill Kenoyer wrote: > I have been tasked with the job of setting up a firewall at my company.
