Author Need help with firewalling

Greetings All,

I need to create a simple firewall that will allow DNS, Sendmail, and HTTPD
in. Lokkit does not seem to be able to accomplish this. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

A nice GUI-tool for that is FireWall Builder (www.fwbuilder.org). You might need
to read the manual of that one, though.

I myself used Lokkit for basic config and then edited /etc/sysconfig/iptables on
my own. But NEVER run Lokkit again after doing that.
You also have to know exactly what adresses/ports/protocols etc. should be
allowed in. For syntax check "man iptables".

Greeting . . . Martin
