Re: [Plug] Question for the linux Vets
|
The best way to learn is to hand edit the config files, read all of the
documentation. For instance:
Linux Firewalls
Read all of the documentation that comes with ipchains and the kernel
source documentation on firewalling.
Read the man page for ipchains and ipfw_chains
Read /usr/doc/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.gz
and anything else on firewall configuration.
I have found that using an automatic configuration script that allows
you to pick options will not teach you very much. Going through the
trials and tribulations of hand configuring a system is my best teacher.
