If you do not understand, what it does, you have not gained much. Could
be, that it has a not very tight ruleset, for example. I have used so
calles "firewalls" on older SuSE systems, and I was *very* dissapointed,
when I found out what they were about. Do not know about Fedora, though.

I do the following:
$ apt-get install firehol
look in the example config files at /usr/share/doc/firehol, pick the one
most suiting your needs, customize (typically IP and/or interfaces
change), try with
& firehol try
if it works, then am done, took me five minutes. I do not know what you
mean by "off the box".
