I find that the script in the rc.config has enough documentation to get a very functional firewall built and I have never read an ipchains book yet. havn't had to. But I would if the script wasn't so clear. Let me know what is giving trouble. And kudos to the SuSE guys. Chris.Smith@raytheon.co.uk wrote:

Yes - they might be of help for some items but not necessarily firewalling with SuSE's firewall s/w. I've been in UNIX/Networks for at least 5 years and like hell I can get a SuSE firewall to do the job it's supposed to do without adequate documentation (which doesnt exist at the moment). I will say that LinuxNewbie.org is a lot more helpful than most of the LDP though :)
