Great Book on Linux Firewalls
I wish this book was released a year ago! I spent a great deal of time and energy figuring how to set up and configure a Linux IPTABLES firewall. I did it the hard way. I dug up information from many sources and finally accomplished my mission.This beauty of this book is that the author has put everything you need in one place. It gives the reader a good conceptual understanding of the concepts and then goes into detail on how to build your firewall. It also contains actual IPTABLES code that you can use with little modification. Great book! Thanks Bill.

Good book - Lousy support
The book was very informative. However after finishing it, I was stupified to discover that there is no online errata and/or script download site. (Or if there is one, it is sure hard to find). It seems that Wiley and "RedHat Press" are hopelessly behind the times. This is a serious flaw in an otherwise very useful book.

Bill is the coolest!
Although I am not finished this book, halfway, I feel compelled to review it. The book has great humor, good info, and makes a very dry read interesting. Although it does not go into great detail on implementing firewalls in the real world, it does have all you need to get moving on your own. I wish that it covered implementation in greater detail but then again most linux guys want to "feel" smarter by figuring it out on their own.
