RE: *nix firewall setup

Here is a site on IPF, which is similiar to IPChains, but with more features. Good documentation on the site as well.

Subject: *nix firewall setup

I have a client who has MS proxy server 2.0 and a NAT firewall. I have already been able to exploit it. I am recommending they get a regular firewall put in place and dump all the rest. They however dont want to spend too much $$ on the project so I was thinking why ont a linux firewall?

Having never set one up before and only having a little knowledge of linux where can I go to get a basic tutorial that just covers firewalls and linux. I know there are a million pages of text out there on linux and firewalls but i am under a slight time constraint and need a step by step with explanations or something similar for now.

Any1 know of any sites or texts to get that would do this?
