<para>If you have a permanent internet connection such as DSL or Cable, I
recommend that you start the firewall automatically at boot. Once you have
installed &#34;firewall&#34; in your init.d directory, simply type
&#34;chkconfig --add firewall&#34;. This will start the firewall in run
levels 2-5 and stop it in run levels 1 and 6. If you want to configure
installed <quote>firewall</quote> in your init.d directory, simply type
<quote>chkconfig --add firewall</quote>. This will start the firewall in
run levels 2-5 and stop it in run levels 1 and 6. If you want to configure
your firewall differently from this default, you can use the
&#34;--level&#34; option in chkconfig (see &#34;man chkconfig&#34;) or
using your favorite graphical run-level editor.</para>
