Hi Del, Just to interrupt the adverts <g>

Just look for any type of ipchains firewall package. There are things
like firestarter (firestarter.sourceforge.net) that will build up your
firewall chains for you, and not have to spend a penny!
You will probably need to install ipchains for your Raq4, which is
easily done, by telnetting/ssh'ing into your box and doing:
rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ipchains-1
.3.9-5.i386.rpm

Hope that helps you out.

Andy
