Hi Jeff, In a nutshell...I strongly recommend you buy the book "Linux Firewalls 2'nd Edition" published by New Riders and authored by Robert Zeigler. This covers everything you need to know about iptables and the examples are based on the redhat distribution. Good luck! ************************** Kevin Lisciotti, CISSP IT Audit - FRB Boston 617-973-3039 ************************** "Dunn, Jeffrey" <Jeffrey.Dunn@northropgrumman.com> Sent by: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com 10/30/2002 11:31 AM Please respond to psyche-list To: "'psyche-list@redhat.com'" <psyche-list@redhat.com> cc: Subject: need help with Linux 8.0 I have never used Linux before, and have been tasked with setting up a firewall.
