I'm not your opinion that that info should be in the inst.-guide. If you need more information - there are many tutorials about iptables - which I suggest you to read. I don't know guarddog - sounds like a frontend for iptables. You want security? - Write your own netfilter-rules. It's not as hard it looks. There are many many samples in the www. The first time it will take 2 days to configure it and then you exactly know what your rules do and you will feel much more secure! > Isn't iptables 80% of why linux is more secure than the leading brand? a WELL CONFIGURED netfilter is one point to get security > wth is a cron?
