The Linux Firewall-HOWTO is in the process of a new rewrite to 
incorporate the next release of the SOCKs proxy server.  As I am busy, 
and the rewrite might not be done for a while, if you are installing a 
new firewall, please download the SOCKs program from ftp.nec.com in the 
path /pub/security/socks.cstc.  It has a new configuration, better FTP 
support, better documentation, and a host of new utilities.

For those that already have installed a firewall and do not want to 
update it, the documentation and utilities will still work with your old 
system.  

The current version of the Firewall-HOWTO should still be relevant except 
for the new configuration syntax.
