>Description:

I think this goes under 'conf' but it might be 'docs'. Here goes:

The /etc/rc.firewall (and /etc/rc.firewall6) script contains references to
"recommended" books on the subject of security and firewalls. The second book
mentioned, Firewalls & Internet Security, is referenced by an incorrect ISBN
number. Additionally, the first book mentioned, Building Internet Firewalls, is
now in its 2nd edition and thus that, more current, book will have a new ISBN
number as well.

The patch attached fixes these two things as well as gives complete URLs to the
books themselves on each publisher's website for convenience.

The patch also applies (with an offset) to /etc/rc.firewall6 cleanly.

>How-To-Repeat:

  Look at /etc/rc.firewall and try to find a book using the second ISBN number :)
