    I have been perusing the various linux security sources looking for a
reliable, proven, source for ipfwadm firewall rules.  I have found a few
examples, but none that really suit the needs for a regular internet provider
that wants maximum security, but not through obscurity.

    My request to someone out there is to please post a working copy of
ipfwadm rules, that is WELL documented and not messy.  I have found it
difficult in the past to relate to some of the rules posted by various
sources, as they are not documented enough for a novice ipfwadm user to read
and understand what their purpose is.

    I thought it was time that some poor soul has brought this up, as I have
really saw no interaction on the subject with an outcome that is beneficial
to the various linux groups concerned about network integrity and security.

    Regards, Shaun.
