RE: [LARTC] Linux router configuration??

["Daniel Chemko" <dchemko@smgtec.com>]

www.netfilter.org has up to date Kernel 2.4 firewall concepts. The links
are also pretty good at describing how everything works if you can't
find what you need at the site itself.

I'll be a tad more helpful, but not much. Setting up a linux
firewall/router 
is pretty specific to your network layout/configuration. You probably
will be 
better off checking these links and going from there:

General Linux setup/config documentation:
http://www.tldp.org

This document is a bit dated in that it doesnt include iptables as one
of the 
firewalling software options, but it still is better than nothing. 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html

The HOWTO at http://www.lartc.org is good too (hehe, had to give kudos)

Hope it helps!
