Dear SuSE Wizards, 

Anyone have a favorite tutorial that they reference for setting up iptables?  
 I just finally got myself trained on ipchains but I guess I'm going to have 
to get retrained.... An online resource would be best, but a good book will 
do, as well.   

I have Robert Zigler's "Linux Firewalls" which helped get me up and running 
for a couple of years, but that is mostly about ipchains--iptables isn't even 
in the index.  

His web site, http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall was awesome for 
creating what appeared to have been a decent firewall, though I never could 
get it to come up on it's own (always had to manually start it, which was a 
pain).   I'm been ruined by point and click!!!

Unfortunately, even with support for both ipchains and iptables in the 2.4 
kernel, I think it's time to "upgrade" my knowledge base rather than being 
content to live in the past...  

TIA for any tips.
