[nflug] Port forwarding

[Richard Hubbard]

In that case, I think you'll like shorewall.  First of all, there are a 
couple of stock configurations, and if one of them is a match, copy the 
config files and you're done.

Otherwise, webmin does a good job with the files, or for that matter, 
even straight editing the config file is very straightforward. You 
should be up in less than a couple of hours if your setup is different 
than one of the stock setups. (I used shorewall at ITT and most people 
were able to get a working configuration)
