I've been using it for quite a while. There is a fairly sharp learning curve but once you get going on it, you can do some fairly complex things. NAT/masquerading, etc., is very simple to get working. Multiple zones are a breeze.<br><br>In order to copy out the config, just tar up /etc/shorewall... You say that you want non-gui but then you mention using webmin. Which are you after, non-gui or gui?<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>Bob<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Michael James <jamesm@thundertux.org><br>To: nflug@nflug.org<br>Sent: Tuesday, November 27,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good non-gui tool for
configuring <br>the firewall (iptables) under linux. I am managing a remote host for
web <br>traffic and need to lock down all ports except the necessary ones. It
needs <br>to be simple enough to either allow the config to be copied to other <br>machines, or be recreated within a small amount of time. I've looked
at <br>webmin with shorewall as one option, but thought there might be others.<br><br>Thanks for the help!<br><br>Michael R.
