Halfcircles,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I absolutely love Robert Ziegler's online firewall config tool at <A HREF="

http://www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html"

and he also wrote a book called Linux Firewalls at <A HREF="

if you like something heavy to carry around &nbsp;&nbsp;You can read more about ipchains-based firewalls at <A HREF="

if you like electrons better than pulp.&nbsp;&nbsp;I used Ziegler's tool to build the basis of my firewall and then added more &quot;ACCEPT&quot; rules for specific applications and every scan I've run against it with ISS have been solid.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scott
