Exactly. I found it quite difficult to set up iptables directly (this was before I read your HOWTO!) and more importantly I had no confidence that my iptables gave me reasonable security. I'm not sure, as I said earlier, to what extent shorewall has become the standard way of setting up iptables. But I certainly think, if you are lazy like me, that it saves a lot of brain cells. -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
