8<para>This document is meant as an introduction to how to setup a
9firewall - it is not a complete guide to securing systems. Firewalling
10is a complex issue that requires careful configuration.
11The scripts quoted here are simply intended to give examples as to how
12firewalling works, they are not intended to fit into any imaginable
13configuration and may not prevent any imaginable attack.</para>
14
15<para>The purpose of this text is simply to give you a hint on how to get
16started with firewalling.</para>
17
18<para>Customization of these scripts for your specific situation will
19be necessary for an optimal configuration, but you should make a serious
20study of the iptables documentation and firewalling in general before hacking
21away. Have a look at the list of <xref linkend="postlfs-security-fw-library"/> at the end
22of this section for more details. Here you will find a list of URLs that
23contain quite comprehensive information about building your own firewall.</para>
