Hi Damien, Thanks for the info. It looks like a very usefull script. I will certainly use parts of it but I don't think it's suitable for e-smith the way it is. I want to have a firewall that's totally configurable through the web. I have made some script which can build a firewall from little modules I wrote. For example when I want spoof protection on interface eth1 I tell my script to load module antispoof on eth1. When I want to restrict external access to my ftp-server, I write a module my_ftp-server and tell the script to load it on the external interface. My idea is to create a web interface which let's you create/modify modules, and let's you assign them to the available interfaces.
