Suse Linux 10.0 is my first experience with Linux (except for practicing with 
Knoppix before installing Suse).

I have installed Guarddog and set it up successfully on my linux machine on a 
two computer home network.  I tested the linux box firewall by disabling the 
router firewall and then running the various online firewall tests and it has 
passed them.  I've gone back and enabled the router firewall for redundant 
protection.

The system itself is basic.  Wireless router hard wired to an XP machine.  The 
other machine is the linux box with PCI wireless adapter.

Due to the fact that the linux box is a dual boot system with Win98SE I am 
stuck with WEP encryption to avoid having to go into the router setup and 
change the encryption from WPA to WEP because of Win98SE limitation.  I feel 
WEP is minimal at best for a basic two computer home network but that is my 
setup.

Q: Does the initial setup for /etc/rc.firewall include rules that are 
associated with anti-spoofing?  What should I look for in /etc/rc.firewall 
and so forth?
