Such as...? For general firewall theory, I'd say the O'Reilly book is
pretty complete. If you're wondering what ipchains can do, the man page is
pretty comprehensive. If you want to know how the internals work... you've

Indeed. I sincerely hope the kernel folks are going to stop tinkering with
the firewall code after iptables is done. Otherwise, I'm gonna consider
switching to OpenBSD on my firewall! ;-)
