iptables rules

[William Jensen <jensenb@charter.net>]

Greetings everyone...

I've upgraded to the 2.4.0-test5 kernel, compiled in netfilter, downloaded
iptools.  As root I can see I have control of the firewall.  For example I can
put a iptables -A INPUT -j DROP and nothing gets in or out!. heh.  This however is not what I am after.   Can you fine scholars send me to a site that will walk a newbie thru creating a set of firewall rules appropriate for the following easy setup:

local machine has total internet access

block everything except ftp, telnet, http

I would think this _should_ be fairly simple?

Thanks for your time,

Bill
