Question on document to setup Iptables

Question on document to setup Iptables

[Stephen Liu]

Hi all folks,

Just join this list.


RH 9.0
========

I am prepared to config/setup iptables which has already been installed
and running.  

From

[url]http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/[/url]

I found following tutorials;

iptables tutorial by Oskar Andreasson.
Taming the wild Netfilter by linuxjournal.
Comparison of iptables automation tools by Anton Chuvakin.
Set up an gateway for home or office by YoLinux.
Iptables basics by Prince Kenshi(linuxnewbies).
Filtering packets with iptables by Joe Brockmeier.
Using iptables by Joe Brockmeier
Iptables connection tracking by James C. Stephens.
Iptables - what is it by James C. Stephens.
Netfilter Log Format by Unknown.
How to use iptables by KrnlPanic
Securing Linux Tutorial by weazyB.
Netfilter tutorial by crhalpin.
Mastering iptables by David Coulson.
Part 1 of an introductory iptables tutorial by David Coulson.
Part 2 of an introductory iptables tutorial by David Coulson.

Kindly advise which of them is most relevant and simple in setup
iptables including masq

Thanks in advance.

I started by reading Oskar's tutorial and never got to any of the others. Some 
of the others may be shorter and more focused on setting things up, but in my 
opinion you need to spend the extra time to learn the way netfilter works. 
Otherwise you may end up with a configuration that runs but is functionally 
useless.

I've only look at a few of the others but I found Oskar Andreasson's
very helpful.  There is also a someone less expert slide show in the
training section on http://iscs.sourceforge.net
