gShield Installation Notes
--------------------------

* Netfilter/iptables

gShield assumes you have a properly working and
configured netfilter/iptables setup.  

I personally recommend simply compiling ALL netfilter options
DIRECTLY into the kernel.  gShield does not make use of
non-standard options to netfilter (such as those in the 
patch-o-matic directory of the iptables source).

netfilter and iptables documentation can be found
at http://netfilter.filewatcher.org.

* Installing the script

The default installation is as follows:

everything ---> /etc/firewall

Oddly enough, placing the tarball in /etc and untar'ing it
there will dump everything into /etc/firewall/

** NOTE **

DO NOT attempt to run configure this script 
remotely! 

DO NOT run the thing remotely! 

I recommend installing/configuring the first time locally in case
something horrible happens.

* NEXT *

Open a terminal. Get out that favorite editor of yours. Edit 
gShield.conf -- it's commented.

* NEXT *

Read the README. 

* NEXT *

Run the script (/etc/firewall/gShield.rc). I suggest
linking this, or setting it up as an automatic process.

Two examples on how to do this. 

PPP -- under Debian, there's a nice directory -> /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/

Make a link from the firewall:

	ln -s /etc/firewall/gShield.rc /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/gShield.rc 

DHCP -- from my config file for dhcpcd:

	OPTIONS='-d -c /etc/firewall/gShield.rc'

* That's it *
