I think when I installed I picked no firewall My idea was that I would filter out unwanted stuff with my router I'd like everything to be wide open to the machines on my local network This being the case, I've never messed with iptables I just forwarded the stuff I wanted, port 80/22/110/whatever from the router to the appropriate machine I'm afraid of hosing my setup messing with stuff I don't understand what files should I backup before I play with the stuff people are suggesting??
