                            An Introduction to Easy
                       iptables Management with Shorewall

 Shorewall is a gateway/firewall configuration tool for GNU/Linux.  This
 talk will cover the basics of getting and installing Shorewall along with
 some of the more straightforward and common configurations (e.g., using
 Shorewall on a gateway system to provide firewalling services between your
 LAN and the Internet).  The emphasis is on the easy nature of Shorewall
 configuration and how Shorewall assists the administrator.  A very brief
 overview will also be provided of some Shorewall's more advanced features.
