  Description     : packet filter generator for various firewall systems

  filtergen is a packet filter generator.  It compiles a fairly high-level
  description language into iptables, ipchains, or ipfilter rules (and has
  bits of support for Cisco IOS access lists).  The result can then be
  sourced into a Bourne compatible shell for 

This package is for all the people who, like me, hate making firewalls.

I plan to create some init.d scripts that do the automatic loading of
firewall rules, created by filtergen, on boot, something that IMHO Debian
has been lacking for too long.
