For DDNS, an alternative would be to use ddclient which is a perl script

I did want to add some type of monitoring here, but I found the script
the easiest and simplest way; people should be able to follow it.
On the Firewall stuff
My comment is, wouldn't it be simpler to note that all of those can be
performed using a package such as shorewall? Teaching CLI for iptables
great and stuffs, but it's more Low-level than high Level. (as you put
it)
Thats a fair call.. I called chapter 6 'concepts' for that reason, and
Ive tried to keep the explanations as simple as possible. Security and
simple are a hard match to start with, thats the reason I at least
provided them with an example script to get them started. This is only
the initial release, I think it would be suitable to include a package
in future revisions.
On your squid section, I believe that the FC3 startup scripts already
does the database/cache directories if it's not been initialiased
already so your squid -z would be moot.
That is correct, similar to sendmail initscript and "make -C /etc/mail"
etc... I put this in more as precautionary and it wont hurt them to run
it, I also mentioned the sendmail one just to be safe.
I guess that's it from me.
Ow,
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I value it.
