[nflug] Firewall Tool

[Robert Meyer]

I highly recommend shorewall.  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.

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?

Cheers!

Bob

Subject: [nflug] Firewall Tool


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

Thanks for the help!
