how to set up firewall - iptable rules

[macroron]

Hello,

I'm new to Yoper. After installing Yoper successfully, I tested the firewall here: GRC*|*Gibson Research Corporation Home Page**

This is a print out of the test:

Shields UP!! ? Port Authority Text Summary
----------------------------------------------------------------------

GRC Port Authority Report created on UTC: 2007-06-29 at 16:50:44

Results from scan of ports: 0-1055

0 Ports Open
1050 Ports Closed
6 Ports Stealth
---------------------
1056 Ports Tested

NO PORTS were found to be OPEN.

Ports found to be STEALTH were: 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 445

Other than what is listed above, all ports are CLOSED.

TruStealth: FAILED - NOT all tested ports were STEALTH,
- NO unsolicited packets were received,
- A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

All ports were closed, but most were not STEALTHY. I would like to make all the ports STEALTHY. When I test my Slackware system, all ports are STEALTHY.

Here is my iptables rules:

root@Yoper /home/ron # /usr/sbin/iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

root@Yoper /home/ron #

Were is the script that loads and saves the iptables rules, and were are they saved? Is there a simple firewall for personal desktop use available for yoper by apt-get?

thank you,
