You can create the rules by hand or there are many tools out there to help you. This URL might help: http://www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/ For info on iptables read this: http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/howto/iptables-HOWTO.html Since you're new to Linux, you may not be familiar with the howto documents. They are all located here: www.tldp.org. That's always a good place to look, in addition to just general google-searching. The bad thing about books is that they quickly become outdated. -- Amy Tanner amy at real-time.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
