[nflug] Port forwarding

[Robert Wolfe]

I didn't take this as being facetious.  J  I was actually looking for
something a little bit easier than setting up iptables because of the fact
that I _don't_ have that much time on my hands these days. J

Not being factitious, but unless you have oodles of time/experience,
straight configuration of iptables is a beast.  Better to use something like
shorewall.  It doesn't replace iptables, but rather writes configuration
scripts for iptables.  Put this together with webmin(http://www.webmin.com)
and you have a powerful, relatively easy setup for all of your firewalling
needs, including masquerading, port forwarding, etc...

I would like to set up port forwarding on my network per the instructions on
the following page: 

http://www.linux.com/howtos/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/forwarders.shtml 

However, I cannot seem to locate the file /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-* as
indicated in the instructions.  I am running the latest Debian 'stable' and
my Debian box (a Sun U5) is set to the DMZ to take care of all incoming
traffic.  I basically want to have it redirect traffic from certain ports
(such as 24554, 23, etc) to my Windoze box while leaving the services that
the Debian box available to the world. 


/etc/rc.d doesn't exist in Debian. Look at the following two files: 

/etc/init.d/iptables 
/etc/default/iptables
