in response to a recent posting i was wondering if someone can assist by pointing 
out if the following is a reasonable home-firewall setup, any recommendations or 
modifications would be appreciated as it is difficult to understand the manpages.

i took the previously mentioned script and added some additional rules, the system 
is a debian linux v2.0.27 with ip_masquerading as well. any fine tuning or 
errors pointed out, would be most helpful as this is my first attempt (have to 
start somewhere TIA   B)

#!/bin/sh

FW=/sbin/ipfwadm
IN=192.168.0.0	
IM=24 			

for i in I O F
do
    $FW -$i -f
		$FW -$i -p accept
done
$FW -F -p reject

# /////////////////////////////////////////////
# DENY all INCOMING 
# ////////////////////////////////////////////
$FW -I -p reject

$FW -F -a deny -o -S $IN/$IM -D $IN/$IM

$FW -F -a accept -P tcp -S $IN/$IM -D 0.0.0.0/0

$FW -F -a accept -P tcp -b -k -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D $IN/$IM

ipfwadm -Fln | grep "acc/m all"
if ( test $? -ne 0 ) then
ipfwadm -F -i masquerade -P all -S $IN/$IM -D 0.0.0.0/0
fi
