iptables easy to understand articles/pdf



Hi, I am working on a longish "tutorial" that explains iptables for
pretty much anyone. I have encountered so far only pretty high level
documents that go immediately into the code. My approach is more from a
nothing to everything approach and i have 3 parts already. I am now
writing the last part (IMHO), but I would like to have some input to
see where this guide could be more expanded or made better. This will
be converted into a pdf once the whole is complete for easy offline
reading.
My last document is about different iptables modules and i haven't
published it yet but the other 3 are online already. Any suggestions
please email me, i am looking forward to it.
Part 1:
http://blog.2blocksaway.com/2006/10/23/iptables-explained-understanding-and-creating-your-own/
Part 2:
http://blog.2blocksaway.com/2006/11/13/iptables-explained-part-2-or-a-how-for-iptables-to-about-efficient-rule-design/
and Part 3:
http://blog.2blocksaway.com/2006/11/15/iptables-explained-part-3-creating-a-complex-iptables-script/

Thanks already for any constructive criticism.
