LOL...nah, it was easy. Now, granted, I had someone holding my hand
throughout the process (thanks Mark!), but it wasn't hard.
1. Install IPchains (make sure it's checked in Startup Services)
2. Install PMFirewall
3. open a terminal and, as root, cd to the PMfirewall dir, and type
./installsh (or something like that...youll see the file name if you type
ls).
4. go through the PMFirewall walkthrough
5. Now is the part where there's a file name I don't remember - cd to the
file PMFirewall saved to (it allows you to specify that right at the
beginning, and gives you the option of a default, which I used). Once
there, type pmfirewall -restart
and you be done!
Believe me, if I can do it...anyone can!
