I'm also interested in security and IP Tables. My system has a local network and a cable modem, and with previous versions of Mandrake, they had a wizard to setup netfilter. The 9.0 release dropped the wizard and included a shorewall package. The documentation was not great, but I think I understand it well enough to modify the config files as needed. And I like the package a lot. --Skip
