Actually I have written a small tutorial on iptables, but I haven't
translated it into english. I'll let you know when it's done. Hopefully
it will be useful for others.
Please have someone, or for that matter a few people, who have a good
understanding of firewalls look over your tutorial before it is published.
While you show a basic understanding of how firewalls work you lack the
knowledge of true security. Just my observation.
You observation is most welcome, Robert. By all mean, I'm surely not an
expert. Just someone who wants to help other by guiding a little 1 or 2 tiny
steps along the great jungle of Linux knowledge. Everyday is a lesson for me.
So, if you please, I really want to know what true security is.
Thank you.
Fajar,
There is already an iptables tutorial on the Wiki:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables
Rather than reinventing the wheel, perhaps you would like to take a look
at that and consider contributing and/or helping to improve it if you
see areas that you consider are weak.
Regards,
Ned
