  Description     : basic interactive firewall configuration tool

The gnome-lokkit package contains a utility which attempts to provide
firewalling for the average Linux end user. Instead of having to
configure firewall rules, gnome-lokkit asks a small number of simple
questions and writes a firewall rule set for you.

Gnome-lokkit is not designed to configure arbitary firewalls. To make
it simple to understand, it is solely designed to handle typical
dialup user and cable modem setups. It will not provide a complex
firewall configuration, and it is not the equal of an expert firewall
designer.

There is also a console version of lokkit included in the sources.
