< Mp5shooter> bah
<@pparadis> pretty sure we don't have anything on shorewall.
< Mp5shooter> :(
<@pparadis> there's lots of docs here --> http://www.shorewall.net/
< tjfontaine> it's pretty straight forward and has plenty of documentation already
< Mp5shooter> I was configuring it last night and I ended up blocking all access to my box from outside lol
<@pparadis> but you should probably be asking yourself why you're setting up a firewall.
<@pparadis> Mp5shooter ^
< Mp5shooter> pparadis
< Mp5shooter> well why not? :P
<@pparadis> that's not a good answer.
< Mp5shooter> :(
<@pparadis> do you understand what firewalls do and what they don't do?
< Mp5shooter> A firewall is a part of a computer system or network that is designed to block unauthorized access while permitting authorized communications. It is a device or set of devices which is configured to permit or deny computer based application upon a set of rules and other criteria.
<@pparadis> that's a BS answer, too.
< Mp5shooter> o
<@pparadis> let me put it this way: what services are you running that you want to specifically limit network access to?
< Mp5shooter> pparadis: umm.. nothing when you put it that way.. lol
<@pparadis> Mp5shooter: i thought as much.
