Very Computer

I am trying to set up iptables on my RH8.0 (kernel 2.4.18) distro.

I have found that the built-in lokkit configurator is way too
simplistic. i.e. it leaves out basic services like samba, ntp, real
audio, etc.

On the other hand, many of the examples on the net appear to be way
too complicated.

---

My situation is as follows:

Small home network with a couple of Linux machines and a couple of
Windoze machines (Win98, WinXP, Win2k).

I believe I need to allow the following services:

ntp (for setting network time)
samba (for mounting disks on mywindoze machines)
nfs (for mounting disks on my other linux machines)
http (for my small apache server)
ssh (for communicating between computers and for logging in from work)
dhcp??? (I use a mix of static and dynamic addresses set up by my
        linksys router)
realaudio (and presumably other streaming formats?)
icq chat
virus program updates (I use f-prot)

Does anybody have a simple documented example that addresses these
basic services?
I am looking for something that I can understand and then build upon.

Thanks,
Jeff

This is basically how I initially set up my firewall. To which I
added logging, etc. as needed.

I had a duplicate posting because I was having problem with my

subsequently I was *NOT* able to cancel because it doesn't think I am
