Rating:  Summary: Awesome intro to a Linux Firewall Review: This review is of the first edition. This book was exactly what I was looking for. I needed to setup a firewall for my home DSL connection. Being a Linux Admin I knew about basic system security, but mostly from a LAN perspective. The author gives a great understanding between corporate LAN security needs versus an internet connected firewall for home/private/smallbusiness needs. The book covers Red Hat 6.x ipchains in excellent detail. I would recommend this book for any Linux user who wanted to setup his own firewall for home use, or even a smallbusiness. For a more detailed and thorough discussion of firewalls, check out "Building Internet Firewalls" published by O'Reiley.
