175205 2003-09-14 09:18:00 We ahve been asked for our course to make up a linux firewall, but i wouldnt have a clue where to start. We are using red hat 9, any ideas? sjbryce (2129)
175206 2003-09-14 09:33:00 Later disributions of Linux like RH9 use iptables (TCP/IP filtering) for a firewall. You can build one with RH9 or alternatively download a firewall specific distribution like LEAF. Do a search for iptables and you will find heaps of examples of firewall scripts. JohnD (509)

I was put on to Firestarter.. Google around for the rpm/source
