Security issues in Ubuntu...

Hi -

I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04, how do I install a firewall ?

Cheers

Ubuntu normally comes with a firewall as standard - it's called "IPTABLES". If you need to change its settings, "Firestarter" can be of some help.

There's a nice how-to on UFW, which comes with Hardy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823741

I'd say you don't need to alter your firewall settings.
