Firewall Module HOWTO
=====================

Firewalling support in the EMAC SiB is done via the utility "ipchains."
Additionally, the utility "ipmasqadm" and several kernel modules
have been provided should you need port forwarding services.

A sample firewall script has been provided, /etc/init.d/firewall.  
This script is symbolically linked in the directory /etc/rc2.d, for 
compatibility with System V init.  Since the script causes the SiB
to hang during boot (because of name resolution issues), the script has 
been shipped with no execute permissions.  Once you have properly 
configured the script to your needs, you will need to execute the 
following command as root:

	chmod 700 /etc/init.d/firewall

You can then reboot the SiB and use the firewalling features.  More
