[sllug-members]: security help

[Eric T. Garff]

You can essentially turn it into a single interface firewall also, I often
do this for single hosts I put out on the public IP space.  This won't
secure your wiki (or apache for that matter) specifically, since that's
another can of worms, but it will make sure that things like your SQL server
and other possible running services aren't available to anyone but you.  Of
course, do be careful, because you can easily lock yourself out from remote
administration and would need to make adjustments at the direct console if
configured incorrectly.  Check out shorewall, it's a great front end for
IPTables:
