If you want to get down to the nitty gritty of it you could use my example ruleset. It is made for a single host and is quite strict in what it allows, but it is not optimized for speed (because it is meant for teaching people how to build rulesets, but on a normal workstation you shouldn't notice this). See if it fits your needs. You can find it (including information on how to set it up) at http://huizen.dto.tudelft.nl/devries/security/iptables_example.html HTH Grx HdV
