I am very big on Internet security and anyone running a web server should
know IPChains and IPTables. If you don't get a couple of books and learn.
Once you understand how things work you we will be much better equipped to
handle any security issues that may come up.
Having said that you don't really need to know these items (but again anyone
running a web server that does not, IMHO, is crazy) when using
Bastille-Linux (http://www.bastille-linux.org/). This is lock down yor box
very well and create the scripts needed to protect your system. Be careful
though and read all prompts carefully as it can lock the box down so tight
it won't let you in. ;)
