Here are some readings that I like:

A general firewall HOWTO:
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Firewall-HOWTO.html

Oskar Andreassen's iptables tutorial:
http://people.unix-fu.org/andreasson/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html

A good security site:
http://www.insecure.org
This is Feodor's site - the author of nmap, one of the most versatile
security tools. Many good links and security documents.

I wouldn't consider myself a security expert, but when I migrated from
ichains to iptables I put together an iptables tutorial with sufficiently
many examples (I hope), specifically designed to complement the man
page and Andreassen's far more comprehensive tutorial. It's here:
