Hi,

I am kind of new to the Linux world. I currently have a computer that is running Samba, Apache, and telnet access for staff. I would like to install a firewall on a computer to block out some ports on my network and would like your input.

Which program would best complement Red Hat 6.1 for firewalling?

Thanks

redhat has ipchains package that allows you packet filtering firewall. You can also use proxy server for application level. I suggest squid.

happy filtering :-)

Personally, I'm quite fond of the Seattle Seawall firewall software. You can find it at http://seawall.sourceforge.net.

There are also some good firewall references on the Linux Router Project site at http://www.linuxrouter.org
