Linux router/firewall presentation (Was: Installfest questions)

[George Toft]

I just gave a firewall presentation to the local Jacksonville LUG.
You are free to plagarize my presentation:
http://georgetoft.com/linux/plug/presentations/firewall/index.html

My goal was to give the audience a background in reading iptable 
scripts so they can modify existing scripts, then advance into writing 
their own.  I have included references in the presentation.  Some of 
them are EXCELLENT sources of iptable info.
