Re: [ILUG-BOM] Firewall in RH 7.2

Hi Shukla,

First of all there should be relavant subject line in any posting on the List.

Well now about the firewall, It depends on what policies you have in your organisation, most of the time you would need to write custom rules sets for IPTABLES (preferred and supported >= kernel 2.4.x) or IPCHAINS (this one is not used after kernel 2.4.2 onwards)

you can find a good tutorials on

Hi Everybody.

I have redhat 7.2 server which i also want to act as a firewall for my Network. Any one has any idea about any firewall on linux? Does the native firewall shipped with linux is sufficient?

Please suggest.

Shukla.
