Hi all,
I have to setup a firewall for a little network.
The firewall machine will have multiple ip addresses for a physical lan
card (eth0 eth0:1 eth0:2).

Looking to the packages (for Etch) I see some firewall; so there is the
question:
    Can anyone recommend to use (or to avoid) any of the following?

        fireflyer
        fwbuilder
        kmyfirewall
        shorewall

Any information will be greately appreciated.


I would recommend Shorewall by far, very stable, easy to use, you can do whatever your need, plus like one user said before, documentation is excellent, plus mailing list, i wouldn`t doube it, maybe it`s quite scarry the first time you look at the config files, but you can master it in relative short time.

Hope it helps.

Javier. 
 
PS: Sorry for sending the answer to your mail i forgot to change the address.
