The New Riders book "Linux Firewalls" is pretty good, provides lots of examples. If you do purchase the New Riders book, make sure you pick up the 2nd edition, as the first is ipchains only; The 2nd covers iptables.
I can't vouch for the O'Reilly book, never read it, but most here can probably agree that O'Reilly has always put out above par books. -- erik at digitaloffense dot net On Monday 08 April 2002 01:17 pm, JB wrote: > Just poking around amazon.com and stumbled upon two possible linux > firewall books: O'Reilly's - Building Internet Firewalls (2nd ED.) and New > Rider's Linux Firewalls. > > Anybody have advice about either books, I am looking for a good reference > to build my own firewall for Debian GNU/Linux. > > Thanks, > > Josh Bauman > > -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ > Joshua Bauman - GNU Crusader > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.darw1n.net > , , > / \ > ((__-^^-,-^^-__)) _____ > `-_---' `---_-' / \ > `--|o` 'o|--' | w3rd! | > \ ` / \___ _/ > ): :( )/ > > :o_o: > > "-"
