[gentoo-user] IPTables - A good place to start ?

2005-01-31 Thread Mal Herring
Hi List,
I have previously used FWBuilder to build a firewall script, however now
I need a simple fw script to protect a single host that will not be
behind a net or anything like that...

Can someone point me in the direction of some easy scripts to reference
or some material good for a n00b to get me started ?

Thanks in advance

Continue using fwbuilder, to learn more compare the output of the 
compiled firewall (it is a bash script) to what you do in the program.

The homepage for iptables/netfilter is
http://www.netfilter.org/
docs (with translations)
http://www.it.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html
generally if you don't serve something to the network simply:
- block connection that are not started from your host
- block malformed packets
- and accept the outgoing, one excepition is active ftp, on port 20.
