It's taken a little time to find out where I got it. Normally I keep 
good notes and bookmark URLs, but I was 'ducking and weaving' so 
much here I got confused. Anyway ...

The document is titled "Security Quick-Start HOWTO for Linux" and 
was originally by Hal Burgiss. later updated by Dave Wreski.
(Google will point to a number of sites if you use the full title).

I think I downloaded from:- 

http://www.linuxsecurity.com/articles/documentation_article-4422.html

Also I got good stuff from:-
http://www.aboutdebian.com/firewall.htm

and 

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Security-Quickstart-HOWTO

I'm in my seventies and not very computer literate, so you may not 
be as impressed as I was ( mind you, I've inwardly digested only a 
little of the contents so far ).
