<para>This document is meant as an introduction to how to setup a firewall. It
is not a complete guide to securing systems. Firewalling is a complex issue
that requires careful configuration. The scripts quoted here are simply
intended to give examples as to how a firewall works, they are not intended to
fit into any imaginable configuration and may not prevent any imaginable
attack.</para>
<para>The purpose of this text is simply to give you a hint on how to get
started with a firewall.</para>
<para>Customization of these scripts for your specific situation will
be necessary for an optimal configuration, but you should make a serious
study of the iptables documentation and creating firewalls in general before hacking
away. Have a look at the list of <xref linkend="postlfs-security-fw-library"/> at the end
of this section for more details. Here you will find a list of URLs that
contain quite comprehensive information about building your own firewall.</para>
