Hi, I intend to upload the uruk Debian package. * Package name : uruk Version : 2005071 Upstream Author : Joost van Baal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://mdcc.cx/uruk * License : GPL Description : Very small firewall script, for configuring iptables Uruk is a wrapper for Linux iptables. A very simple shell script, but useful if you need similar (but not the same) packet filtering configurations on lots of boxes. It uses a template file, which gets sourced as a shell script, to get lists of source addresses, allowed to use specific network services. Listing these groups of allowed hosts and allowed services is all what's needed to configure your box. Main difference with other firewall setup tools: uruk is just a very small shell script, supports only iptables (yet), no gui, no interactive setup, no default configuration (yet). You'll like this if you'd rather not have lots of (probably buggy) code between you and your filtering rules. The Debian package is available from deb[-src] http://mdcc.cx/debian local contrib . I'll do some minor work on it before uploading. I am using this script to manage iptables on quite some systems, for more than 2 years now. I guess it's stable enough to get uploaded to Debian now. I've done some comparison with other similar tools in Debian; see http://mdcc.cx/uruk/ . Since uruk is _much_ smaller than all other scripts, I guess there's a niche for this one too. Bye, Joost
