        Hello :)
It is well known among Unix (especially Linux) system administrators that
HOWTO documents are only for beginners, and the ultimate documentation
source is the man pages. I reccomend you to study first what a firewall
strategy looks like, then _implement_ it using ipfwadm. It should be
enough... Linux 2.1.xxx's ipchains is more documented, I've read a very
good howto made by the author.
