There's also a web page on this with the fwtk.  I have links to it in my 
web pages, the system will be down most of tomorrow, but you link to me at:

http://darkstar.sysinfo.com

hit the 'new links' hot spot on the bottom of page one, choose 'Security' 
on the new page linked up, and you can't miss '1. TIS Firewall Toolkit on 
Linux'.   If you want to link direct try:  

http://www.wmd.de/wmd/staff/pauck/misc/fwtk_on_linux.html";>TIS Firewall 
Toolkit on Linux

It's a place to start anyway.  I have a good listing of related links, 
and a vast ammount of linux security related issues that are available 
for the asking...

Later fellow listers,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
