I recommend you to install mason package. That is firewall configuration
tool. See its configuration files, set it up, and run:
mason-gui-text
You can than use services which you want to allow through firewall, than
save the rules, and you have full firewall system.
Of course, read how mason must be used. But it is really a tool which
makes things easier. It uses ipchains.
