Personally, I use fwbuilder. Package: fwbuilder Section: net Maintainer: Jeremy T. Bouse <jbouse@debian.org> Version: 2.0.3-2 Provides: fwbuilder-frontend Description: Firewall administration tool GUI Firewall Builder consists of an object-oriented GUI and a set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. In Firewall Builder, firewall policy is a set of rules, each rule consists of abstract objects which represent real network objects and services (hosts, routers, firewalls, networks, protocols). Firewall Builder helps the user maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. . This is the GUI part of fwbuilder But, you have to understand ordered rules. First one matching Wins. There is a tutorial, it is very nice. Also, it does have a steep curve for learning, but once it clicks... it is fine and dandy. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
